Jet Analytics OData Data Source
The Jet Analytics OData data source is based on the Jet Analytics REST data source.
All documentation for the Jet Analytics REST data source applies here unless otherwise specified below.
Metadata Discovery
- Select an Ingest instance.
- Define authentication settings. If applicable, configure the necessary authentication settings. Metadata discovery uses the data source authentication settings.
-
Configure Metadata Discovery.
- Provide a URL to the OData metadata discovery EDMX file. An example URL is https://services.odata.org/OData/Odata.svc/$metadata. Once an Ingest instance and the URL are set, click the Configure button to open the Metadata discovery modal.
- In the modal, select the endpoints and any expansions you want to generate configurations for.
-
Submit configurations.
- After selecting your endpoints and expansions, click Submit to return to the data source configuration.
- Endpoints are generated based on your selection.
- Continue configuring the endpoints as you would for the Jet Analytics REST data source if additional configuration is needed.
If you reopen the Metadata Discovery tool in the future and make a new selection, any existing endpoints with the same name will be overwritten by the new selection and any custom configurations on those endpoints will be lost.
Pagination
The Jet Analytics OData Data Source Connector follows OData standards for pagination, supporting the following paging link types in the result set:
- Atom-style link:
link[@rel='next']
- OData v4.00-style link:
@odata.nextLink
- OData v4.01+-style link:
@nextLink
Different namespaces and both absolute and relative URL types for the nextLink value are supported. If necessary, pagination can be overridden on individual endpoints to configure it manually.
