External DataFlow Trigger on Event - Is this possible?

[cp11]

Hello SAP experts,

Is there a possibility to trigger a DataFlow of the SAP Datasphere, which is currently triggered by a scheduler, also by a specific event?

The idea would be to trigger the DataFlow in the SAP Analytics Cloud, e.g. via a button, whereby the most current data would be pulled.

Is there a possibility or workaround to implement such a project, and if so, how would I have to proceed?

Many thanks

Chris

Also it might be relevant to ask along with this question how "change data capture" can be implemented along with data flow when data will be loaded from any SAP or non-SAP source without loading the complete data from source during delta load.

The feature you ask for is on the roadmap for this quarter: https://roadmaps.sap.com/board?PRODUCT=73555000100800002141&range=CURRENT-LAST#;INNO=E78B0E4728D31ED...

Regarding change data capture:

• in data flows you can only use generic delta via a dynamic where condition for the following connections at the time of writing: SAP SuccessFactors, OData, and Cloud Data Integration (CDI) sources
• Remote Tables and Replication flows support delta loads for cdc enabled CDS views

That's good news, then I look forward to this feature and am excited how the implementation will look.

Thanks Sven for the info

Hello Sven,

Is that External API delivered?
I can't find it in the link you've shared.

If it's released, can you refer me to the correct chapter in the Help documemtation?

Hello Pavan,

You can use the CLI for that task: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_DATASPHERE/d0ecd6f297ac40249072a44df0549c1a/2b26a31f197444dea314495bc0...

Kind regards
