Get the Report →LINQ to SAP Hybris C4C Data
LINQ offers versatile querying capabilities within the .NET Framework (v3.0+), offering a straightforward method for programmatic data access through CData ADO.NET Data Providers. In this article, we demonstrate the use of LINQ to retrieve information from the SAP Hybris C4C Data Provider.
This article illustrates using LINQ to access tables within the SAP Hybris C4C via the CData ADO.NET Data Provider for SAP Hybris C4C. To achieve this, we will use LINQ to Entity Framework, which facilitates the generation of connections and can be seamlessly employed with any CData ADO.NET Data Providers to access data through LINQ.
See the help documentation for a guide to setting up an EF 6 project to use the provider.
- In a new project in Visual Studio, right-click on the project and choose to add a new item. Add an ADO.NET Entity Data Model.
- Choose EF Designer from Database and click Next.
- Add a new Data Connection, and change your data source type to "CData SAP Hybris C4C Data Source".
Enter your data source connection information.
SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer uses basic authentication. Set the User and Password to your login credentials.
Below is a typical connection string:
User=user;Password=password;
- If saving your entity connection to App.Config, set an entity name. In this example we are setting SAPHybrisC4CEntities as our entity connection in App.Config.
- Enter a model name and select any tables or views you would like to include in the model.
Using the entity you created, you can now perform select , update, delete, and insert commands. For example:
SAPHybrisC4CEntities context = new SAPHybrisC4CEntities();
var accountcollectionQuery = from accountcollection in context.AccountCollection
select accountcollection;
foreach (var result in accountcollectionQuery) {
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} ", result.Id, result.ObjectID);
}
See "LINQ and Entity Framework" chapter in the help documentation for example queries of the supported LINQ.
