After creating a project, you add an OData Connection shared resource to create a connection between the plug-in and an OData server.
Prerequisites
The OData Connection shared resource is available at the
Resources level. Ensure that you have created a project, as described in
Creating a Project.
Procedure
Expand the created project in the Project Explorer view.
Right-click the
Resources folder and click
New > OData Connection to open the OData Connection wizard.
The resource folder, package name, and resource name of the OData connection are provided by default. If you do not want to use the default configurations, change them accordingly. Click
Finish to open the OData Connection Editor.
In the
Root URL field, specify the OData services root URL.
In the
Connection Timeout (msec) field, specify the maximum response time of OData request.
Note: If you do not provide timeout value in this field, no response time limit is set on the OData request.
Click
Load Metadata to load the metadata from the OData server.
In the
Security panel, specify the authentication type of the OData server. See
Security for more details.
If SSL is used in the server you want to connect to, you are required to configure SSL. Select the
Confidentiality check box for configuration. See the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks documentation for more details.
