Create an offline mobile app using successfactors odata api

[vhsbc92]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to an offline mobile application using SAP SuccessFactors OData API and I've been facing some problems to retrieve the data.

I've done all the configuration settings inside mobile cockpit, I can get the metadata from MBT URL generated by Mobile Connectivity configuration, I also can retrieve the data. But when I open the app, I can't see the data there, just an empty table.

I've tried to use offline data store and http rest connection, didn't work.

I've been seeing some videos, but everyone uses the sample odata service provided by Mobile Sample OData ESPM feature. I've tried government's public odata and I can retrieve. There is something wrong I must have been doing.

I appreciate if someone could share any tutorial about how to create a Mobile Connectivity and use it in the SAP MDK.

You don't need to create an MBT service as you already have an OData service for consumption.

I don't see any issue in the destination configured in the mobile services app configuration.

Regarding the MDK project in SAP Business Application Studio, did you create it using a template? For example, base, List Detail or CRUD? If so, did you select enabling offline for the given destination?

Could you share the page metadata where you have bound an Object Table control to the defined service?

Hello Jitendra, hope you are great!

I have good and bad news! The good one, I tried to use SAP CPI OData API as a middleware to reach SuccessFactors and it's working.

The bad, I'm still having problems to connect directly with SF.

I've done a documentation with all the steps to create the APP Connected with SF and other app connected to SF using CPI.

Here is the documentation, I'm sorry to ask this, but could you please take a look? This is a Notion website I've shared.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I've been working in both apps to figure out why one is working and other one doesn't.

Any comments or suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks a lot!
