Integration with REST as a source and C4C (soap/odata) as receiver using HCI

[former_member209632]

Hi Guru's,

I am new to SAP HCI. I have a scenario wherein C4C needs to receive data from 3rd party mobile application. 3rd party is providing data using a REST API.

As C4C supports odata service, so we need to Integrate this 3rd party REST API to Odata service and consume Odata service in C4C.

I went through below blog which says

https://blogs.sap.com/2016/04/13/introduction-to-creating-odata-service-in-hana-cloud-integration/

In point no. 3 it talks about creating oData service from REST API.

Also, the alternative i found is to use HTTPS adapter in below post :

can someone please help me how to proceed with the requirement.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Akshay,

why use soap/odata in first place when you are able to consume REST services in C4C Cloud Applications Studio coding?

The question here is what your scenario looks like.

When should the data be pulled from the REST service?

Hi Johannes and Akshay.

Talking about REST service into C4C, i would like to know.

I need to implement a custom Workview development that user will upload a csv/xls file into C4C workview and the content will be displayed as a list into it.

Which is the best approach to use into C4C SDK? REST API service or directly upload file?

Thanks!
Mauricio.
