Creating the Data Model

There are two approaches to creating the context and entity classes for your application. Using the Code-First Approach approach, you can fine-tune your model by writing the classes manually. Alternatively, you can use Reverse Engineering (Scaffolding) to generate these classes automatically from your SAP Ariba schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After EF Core is set up and the SAP Ariba provider is registered, you can begin querying your data with LINQ:

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

SAPAribaSourceContext ents = new SAPAribaSourceContext();
var VendorsQuery = from Vendors in ents.Vendors
                   orderby Vendors.Category
                   select Vendors;
