Power BI Connector for SAP Cloud for Customer

Build 24.0.9060

Creating the Data Source Name

This section describes how to edit the DSN configuration and then authenticate and connect to SAP Cloud for Customer APIs.

DSN Configuration

You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to edit the DSN configuration. Note that the installation process creates a both a user DSN and a system DSN, as described in Installing the Connector.

Note: The connector stores connection information in the Windows registry. To ensure that the connector can write to the registry, either run Power BI as an administrator or use a User DSN for your connection instead of a System DSN.

User DSN

Complete the following steps to edit the DSN configuration:

  1. Select Start > Search, and enter ODBC Data Sources in the Search box.
  2. Choose the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your Power BI Desktop installation (32-bit or 64-bit).
  3. Select the system data source and click Configure.
  4. Edit the information on the Connection tab and click OK.

System DSN

Configure the system DSN the same way as the user DSN, except you will need to switch to the System DSN tab before performing Step 3.

Connecting to SAP Cloud for Customer

To identify your SAP Cloud for Customer instance, set the following:
  • Tenant: The full domain name of your SAP Cloud for Customer tenant.
  • Url: The URL corresponding to your SAP Cloud for Customer instance. You must specify this if it differs from the default service of "c4codata". Otherwise, omit this connection property.

Authenticating to SAP Cloud for Customer

User Credentials

Set the AuthScheme to Basic and specify the following:

  • User: Your SAP Cloud for Customer username.
  • Password: Your SAP Cloud for Customer password.

Azure AD

Set the AuthScheme to AzureAD.

Configuring a Custom Extension

This configuration requires a custom extension to SAP Hybris. This extension can be created using the yempty tool.

Connection Configuration

After configuring your custom extension, set the following to authenticate:

  • OAuthClientId: The application Id of the connector application, found in the Overview section of the app registration.
  • OAuthClientSecret: The client secret value of the connector application. Azure AD displays this when you create a new client secret.
  • CallbackURL: The redirect URI of the connector application. For example: https://localhost:33333
  • SSOProperties: Set the following additional properties, each separated by a commma, in the format A=B;C=D; etc.
