      Note

      To connect to an On-Premise OData service, ensure that the following tasks are completed:

      1. The cloud connector is installed. For more information, see Installing the SAPCP Cloud Connector.
      2. The cloud connector is configured. For more information, see Configuring the SAPCP Cloud Connector.

      The SAP Analytics Cloud agent doesn't need to be installed during the configuration process.

    For more information, see: Import Data Connection to SAP Integrated Business Planning.

  3. Type a name for your query.
  4. Choose whether you want to build a query, or type in a query manually.
    1. Select Build a Query to build a query using the query builder, or Freehand Query to manually type a query using V2 OData query syntax.
    2. If you chose to use the query builder, select a table, and then select Next.

      Build your query by moving data elements into the Selected Data and Filters areas. For more information, see Building a Query.

      For example, the following query lets you get the product by rating:

      Sample Code
      KeyPredicate:
Categories(1)/Products?$format=json&$select=Name ,Category/Name,Supplier/Name,Supplier/Address&$expand=Category,Supplier&$filter=Supplier/ID eq 0
FunctionImport:
GetProductsByRating?rating=3&$format=json&$select=Name,Rating,Category/Name,Supplier/Name,Supplier/Address&$expand=Category,Supplier

      For more information on the OData query syntax, refer to the OData documentationInformation published on non-SAP site.

      Note

      SAP Analytics Cloud has the following validation rules for freehand queries:

      • Duplicated parameters ($select, $expand, $format, $top, $skip, $inlinecount, $filter) in the query are not allowed.
      • Only entity set and function import are supported.
      • For function import, entity set is only supported as a return type.
      • If $select contains the Nav property but without $expand property, the query is invalid.
