Using OData service for analytics reporting

[nabheetscn]

Hi,

I'm planning to build an analytics dashboard by pulling data from an EHP system. I'm planning to expose this data through an OData service. This service will be built using the gateway service builder (SEGW). Is it recommended to use OData service for analytics reporting? I couldn't find any resources to understand the consequences. Have anyone tried this before? And was there any issues? Please share your thoughts.

Dear Siva

You can use concept of SAP Fiori elements Analytic list page type to expose your data via CDS views. This is very much possible. All you need to do create your CDS view with annotation analytics.query true and proceed. Read this blog for more details.

Thanks

Hi,

I belief this is one of the standard approach for creating custom fiori apps (Like Dashboard).

In case you have a BEX query you can wrap that as an odata service.

Even SAC(https://www.sapanalytics.cloud/product/) can be configured to use Odata as datasource.
