Connecting to SAP NetWeaver

Creating a SAP NetWeaver connection in Management Console using OData Services allows you to read, write and synchronize your CRM and ERP data. While reading from and writing to a SAP connection, both interactive and batch modes are supported.

To define a SAP NetWeaver connection, perform these steps:

  1. Access the Connections page using one of these:
    Spectrum Management Console:
    Access Spectrum Management Console using the URL: http://server:port/management console, where server is the server name or IP address of your Spectrum Technology Platform server and port is the HTTP port used by Spectrum Technology Platform.
    Note: By default, the HTTP port is 8080.
    Click Resources > Connections.
    Spectrum Discovery:
    Access Spectrum Discovery using the URL: http://server:port/discovery, where server is the server name or IP address of your Spectrum Technology Platform server and port is the HTTP port used by Spectrum Technology Platform.
    Note: By default, the HTTP port is 8080.
    Click Connect.
  2. Click the Add connection button .
  3. In the Connection Name box, enter a name for the connection. The name can be anything you choose.
    Note: Once you save a connection you cannot change the name.
  4. In the Connection Type field, choose SAP.
  5. In the Username field, enter the user name to access the SAP web service.
  6. In the Password field, enter the password of the SAP web service.
  7. In the OdataURL field, enter the address of the Odata web service to be used for this connection.
  8. Click Test.
    A message confirms the successful test of the connection.
  9. Click Save.
    A message confirms the successful creation of the connection.
Note: To perform fetch operations, an OData service must support the $skip and $top operations. If the service does not support these operations, the fetched records show inconsistencies in the model store preview.
