SAP Cloud ALM offers a generic OData interface to access analytics of the differents use cases (Projects Management, Tasks Management, Health Monitoring...).

In addition to this generic OData interface, some use cases like "Requirements" provide a specific OData interface which is more convenient to use since it returns a dataset with the real name of dimensions and measures instead of generic names like d1k, d1v.

In SAP Analytics Clouds, you can consume the specific OData interface out-of-the-box by selecting the dedicated entity which is available using the same connection that you'd use to access the generic entity DataSet. Just select entity "Requirements" to access analytics of of SAP Cloud ALM Requirements scenario.

Depending on the scenario, you might have to filter some dimensions. In the case of Requirements all filters are optional which means you can just select all dimensions and measures you need and press "Next" to load all requirement analytics data in your model.

The frame time dimension "period" and "resolution" are still relevant with the specific interface and will impact the number of records returned.

Once data imported in the SAP Analytics Cloud model you can manipulate the dimensions and measures using their real name as opposed to the generic DataSet interface which exposes generic dimension names (dxk,dxv) and generic measure names (mxk,mxv).

Although the format of generic OData interface and specific OData interface differ, they return the same content.
