SAP Gateway


You can use the SAP Gateway connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from SAP Gateway and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the SAP Gateway Connector

To enable Sync to use data from SAP Gateway, you first must add the connector, as follows:

  1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

  2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

  3. Click the Sources tab and locate the SAP Gateway row.

  4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the SAP Gateway connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to SAP Gateway

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

  • Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

  • URL - Enter the URL either for your environment (for example, https://sapes5.sapdevcenter.com/) or to the full URL of the service. For example, your environment URL might be simliar to https://sapes5.sapdevcenter.com, and the full URL to your service might be similar to https://sapes5.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/IWBEP/GWSAMPLE_BASIC/.

CData Sync supports authenticating to SAP Gateway in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

  • Auth Scheme: Select OAuth.

  • OAuth Client Id: Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

  • OAuth Client Secret: Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

  • Scope - Enter space-separated values for the permission scopes. These scopes are required when you authenticate via an OAuth2.0 flow.

Basic

To connect with your user credentials, set the following properties:

  • Auth Scheme: Select Basic.

  • User: Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your SAP Gateway account.

  • Password: Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your SAP Gateway account.

Token

To connect with an access token, specify the following properties:

  • Auth Scheme – Select Token.

  • API Key - Enter the API key of the application that you created.

OAuth PKCE

To connect with the OAuth PKCE extension, specify the following properties:

  • Auth Scheme - Select OAuthPKCE.

  • OAuth Client Id - Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

SAP BTP Destination Service

To connect via the SAP BTP Destination Service, select SAPBTP for Auth Scheme. No additional properties are required.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

  1. Specify the following properties:

    • Namespace - Enter the service namespace from which you want to retrieve data.

      Note: You must specify the namespace if the service is not specified in the URL.

    • Service - Enter one or more services (separated by commas) from which you want to retrieve data.

      Note: If the service or services is set in the URL, this property is ignored. If the services are not set either in the URL or via this property, the SAP Gatewaycatalog service is used to discover all the available services.

    • Custom Url Params - Enter any additional required properties that you need to include with the HTTP request (for example, sap-client=001&sap-language=EN).

  2. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

  3. If you authenticate with OAuth or OAuthPKCE, click Connect to SAP Gateway to connect to your SAP Gateway account.

  4. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
