Add an OData resource

In this topic, you learn how to define an OData resource and add it to DXP - Open Edition.

Prerequisites

In the Cockpit, go to Connectivity and click OData Source.
In OData Source, click Add.

Enter a meaningful Name.
In Version, select the version of your OData resource.
Assign the OData resource to a Group or Package of artifacts.
In Endpoint, enter the URL of your OData resource.
In Description, enter a description of the OData resource.
Activate any of the following options that fit your OData resource:

Your OData resource is saved with the current settings. OData Source adds an ID to your OData resource and saves change dates.

Drag and drop the OData Source component in the resources of your application.
Select your oData Source.
Use an onInit component to get the data to your List ( getODataoList(); ).
Set the Model Source of your List to your OData Source.
