JDBC architecture

SAP Business One JDBC Connectivity Features

  • Powerful metadata querying enables SQL-like access to non-database sources
  • Push down query optimization pushes SQL operations down to the server whenever possible, increasing performance
  • Client-side query execution engine, supports SQL-92 operations that are not available server-side
  • Connect to live SAP Business One data, for real-time data access with the SAP Business One ODBC Driver
  • Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
  • Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
  • Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the SAP Business One Connector.

Target Service, API

The driver connects to SAP Business One through the Service Layer OData interface. It dynamically surfaces data from the Business One Service Layer root URL (e.g., http://localhost:50000/b1s/v1). The driver supports both on-premise and cloud deployments of SAP Business One versions 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 up to 10.0.

Schema, Data Model

The driver models SAP Business One data as relational tables with metadata dynamically retrieved from the Service Layer. Table definitions are obtained dynamically when connecting, allowing access to all SAP Business One entities as standard database tables. Any changes to metadata are automatically loaded upon reconnection.

Key Objects

Primary objects include Accounts, Activities, Orders, Customers, Vendors, Items, Sales Orders, and Purchase Orders. The driver provides access to all SAP Business One business objects exposed through the Service Layer API.

Operations

Full CRUD operations with comprehensive SQL-92 support including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. Supports complex operations like JOINs, aggregations, and client-side processing for operations not available server-side. Collaborative query processing with push-down optimization for supported operations.

Authentication

Requires User and Password properties for basic authentication to the SAP Business One Service Layer. Also requires the URL property pointing to the Service Layer root. Supports secure connectivity through modern cryptography including TLS 1.2 and SSL encryption.
