Set up a new connection
Complete the following steps to configure the connector between Connect and SAP DMC to transfer data back and forth. Once configured, the SAP DM connector can be used in multiple tables. At minimum, each subscription should have a table for master data and a table for transactional data, although you may have more than 2 tables.
- From the Home screen, select the Add button under Tables.
- Enter a Name that identifies the table and select a Folder to save the table.
- In Datasets, enter SAP and select
SAP DM from the results.
- Under Setup: [1 of 1], enter the following:
- Under Client ID, a unique string that represents the registration information provided by a client, the recipient of an access token.
- Under Client Secret, enter the secret passphrase configured for the client.
- Under Authentication URL, enter the authorization server that authenticates the client and grants authorization.
- Under Public API Endpoint, enter the base URL for making calls on public APIs.
- Select Save
After you complete the setup, Connect communicates with the server to ensure that the credentials and directories are valid. After the initial connection is made, you can reuse this connection in other tables.
