Web API Services

Before creating a Web API Endpoint Connector, you must first define the OData services you want to connect with in the SAP Connector. OneStream supports the use of OData V2. The OData V2 services can be found here.

Define Services

  1. Click the Insert Row icon to create a new entry in the API Service List table.

  2. Populate the following fields: 

    • Name: Insert any unique name.

    • Service: The technical name of the OData service in your SAP system, contact your SAP administrator.

    • Authentication: The type of authentication for the specified service.

  3. After adding one or more entries, click the Save button.

After creating Web API Endpoint Connectors, these entries will be available in the API Name drop-down menu.

Test Services

This icon enables you to run a test of your connection to verify the service successfully reaches its destination.

To run a test, use these steps: 

  1. Select a service from the API Service List.

  2. Click the Test button.

If successful, a dialog box will display this message: Service connection test successful. If the test fails, a dialog box will verify the test was unsuccessful and direct you to the Error Log to view additional details.
