SAP C4 SDK: How to consume an ODATA service in C4 PDI ?

Posted on Jul 15, 2020 at 08:57 AM 246 Views Last edit Jul 15, 2020 at 12:10 PM 4 rev.

I would like to consume an ODATA service call from CPI in C4 using SDK/PDI. I searched a lot of blogs here in SDN but couldn't find a way to do this development. Also i found a reference which says that it's not possible to consume the ODATA from external systems in SDK, but that reference was in 2016. I am not sure if the situation remains the same ?

    Hi,

    You can very well consume external REST(ODATA) or SOAP service from C4C SDK from a very long time even before 2016.

    Steps:

    1. Create an external web service integration in PDI/SDK. Choose REST as the protocol.

    2. Give the service name as the endpoint of the external system. Ex: calling own service as odata https://myXXXXXX.crm.ondemand.com/sap/c4c/odata/v1/c4codataapi/ . Once done then activate this web service integration.

    3. Create a communication arrangement against the scenario generated as part of step 2 activation.

    4. Write an ABSL script to consume service generated in the above steps. Use WebServiceUtilities.ExecuteRESTService method to consume his service.

    Pls refer https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/06/use-restful-service-to-consume-s4-functionality-in-sap-cloud-for-customer/ as well as https://answers.sap.com/questions/12951181/consume-an-external-rest-webservice-in-c4c.html for more details about the implementation.
