  • 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 Hybris C4C Connector.

Target Service, API

The driver connects to SAP Hybris C4C (SAP's cloud-based CRM solution) through the SAP Hybris C4C OData API. Provides access to live SAP Hybris C4C data with bidirectional capabilities. The driver uses the OData interface to retrieve and manipulate data from the cloud-based CRM platform.

Schema, Data Model

The driver models SAP Hybris C4C data as relational tables with dynamic metadata discovery. Table definitions are automatically retrieved from the OData service endpoint. The driver exposes both static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to all SAP Hybris C4C entities through standard SQL interfaces.

Key Objects

Primary objects include Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, Accounts, Activities, Orders, and Customers. The driver provides comprehensive access to all SAP Hybris C4C CRM entities including custom objects created in the platform.

Operations

Full CRUD operations with ANSI-92 SQL support. Supports SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE with complex operations including JOINs and aggregations. Features collaborative query processing with push-down optimization. The embedded SQL engine translates standard SQL queries into SAP Hybris C4C API calls dynamically.

Authentication

Uses basic authentication with User and Password properties required for login credentials. Supports secure connectivity through SSL encryption and modern cryptography standards including TLS 1.2. Also supports authtoken-based authentication schemes.

Standard ADO.NET Access to SAPHybrisC4C

The SAP Hybris ADO.NET Provider offers the most natural way to access SAP Hybris C4C data from any .NET application. Simply use SAP Hybris Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the SAP Hybris Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for SAP Hybris C4C hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The SAP Hybris Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB, including: SAPHybrisC4CConnection, SAPHybrisC4CCommand, SAPHybrisC4CDataAdapter, SAPHybrisC4CDataReader, SAPHybrisC4CDataSource, SAPHybrisC4CParameter, etc. Because of this you can now access SAP Hybris C4C data in an easy, familiar way.

For example:

using (SAPHybrisC4CConnection conn = new SAPHybrisC4CConnection("...")) {
	string select = "SELECT * FROM Leads";
	SAPHybrisC4CCommand cmd = new SAPHybrisC4CCommand(select, conn);
	SAPHybrisC4CDataAdapter adapter = new SAPHybrisC4CDataAdapter(cmd);
	using (adapter) {
		DataTable table = new DataTable();
		adapter.Fill(table);		
		...
	}
}

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

SAP Hybris Data Provider goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the SAP Hybris Data Provider as easily as interacting with a database table. 

using (SAPHybrisC4CConnection connection = new SAPHybrisC4CConnection(connectionString)) {
	SAPHybrisC4CDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SAPHybrisC4CDataAdapter(
	"SELECT Id, Where FROM Leads", connection);
  
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand = new SAPHybrisC4CCommand(
		"UPDATE Leads SET Where = @Where " +
		"WHERE Id = @ID", connection);

	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Where", "Where");
	dataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", "80000173-1387137645");

	DataTable LeadsTable = new DataTable();
	dataAdapter.Fill(LeadsTable);

	DataRow firstrow = LeadsTable.Rows[0];
	firstrow["Where"] = "New Location";

	dataAdapter.Update(LeadsTable);
}

ADO.NET Provider Performance

With traditional approaches to remote access, performance bottlenecks can spell disaster for applications. Regardless if an application is created for internal use, a commercial project, web, or mobile application, slow performance can rapidly lead to project failure. Accessing data from any remote source has the potential to create these problems. Common issues include:

  1. Network Connections - Slow network connections and latency issues are common in mobile applications.
  2. Service Delays - Delays due to service interruptions, resulting in server hardware or software updates.
  3. Large Data - Intentional or unintentional requests for large amounts of data.
  4. Disconnects - Complete loss of network connectivity.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for SAP Hybris C4C solves these issues by supporting powerful smart caching technology that can greatly improve the performance and dramatically reduce application bottlenecks.

Smart Caching

Smart caching is a configurable option that works by storing queried data into a local database. Enabling smart caching creates a persistent local cache database that contains a replica of data retrieved from the remote source. The cache database is small, lightweight, blazing-fast, and it can be shared by multiple connections as persistent storage.

Caching with our ADO.NET Providers is highly configurable, including options for:

  • Auto Cache - Maintain an automatic local cache of data on all requests. The provider will automatically load data into the cache database each time you execute a SELECT query. Each row returned by the query will be inserted or updated as necessary into the corresponding table in the cache database.
  • Explicit Cache - Cache only on demand. Developers decide exactly what data gets stored in the cache and when it is updated. Explicit caching provides full control over the cache contents by using explicit execution of CACHE statements.
  • No Cache - All requests access only live data and no local cache file is created.

This powerful caching functionality increases application performance and allows applications to disconnect and continue limited functioning without writing code for additional local storage and/or data serialization/deserialization.

More information about ADO.NET Provider caching and best caching practices is available in the included help files.

Visual Studio Integration & Server Explorer

Working with the new SAP Hybris ADO.NET Provider is easy. As a fully-managed .NET Data Provider, the SAP Hybris Data Provider integrates seamlessly with the Visual Studio development environment as well as any .NET application.

Developer Integration: Databind to SAP Hybris C4C

Connecting Web, Desktop, and Mobile .NET applications with SAP Hybris C4C is just like working with SQL Server. It is even possible to integrate SAP Hybris ADO.NET Provider into applications without writing code.

Developers are free to access the SAP Hybris ADO.NET Provider in whatever way they like best. Either visually through the Visual Studio Winforms or Webforms designers, or directly through code.

  • Developers can connect the SAP Hybris C4C Data Source directly to form components by configuring the object's smart tags.
  • Add a new Data Connection from the Server Explorer and select the SAP Hybris C4C Data Source. Then, select the feed, view, or services you would like to connect the object to.

Done! It's just like connecting to SQL Server.

  • Once the object is bound to the data source, applications can easily interact with SAP Hybris C4C data with full read/write (CRUD) support.
