tSAPODataInput no setting Headers

vintac — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 09:14:03 GMT

Hello,

i have to extract data from SAP s/4 Hana and i'm using the SAP OData components, but i can't find where to define headers. Am i missing something or this feature is really not available?
Actually the general tODATAInput offers the possibility to setup headers, why not in SAP ones?

Thanks,

Vincenzo

Hi @vintac ,

I’ve run into the same issue.
It looks like the SAP OData component currently doesn’t offer a way to define custom headers, unlike the generic tODATAInput component.

Hopefully, this feature will be added soon

So, actually with SAP odata components i can't use odata features like pagination or delta extractions, right?

Yes, the SAP OData component is quite limited in this scenario, and I haven’t found any workaround to set custom headers so far.

You could try using the generic OData Input component instead, but it only works with OData v4, while SAP should be exposing v2 services, so it might not be compatible in most cases

yes indeed, the issue is that Odata component only works with v4 odata.

Thanks,
Vincenzo.

Hello,
This thttpClient | Qlik Help component can be used when you need to exchange data with services (REST, SOAP, OData, Cloud Apps, Legacy Apps, ...) that do not have dedicated connectors.

Best regards

Hello @Xiaodi_Shi ,

Yes, it is possible to use the base thttpClient component to make the necessary calls. But this approach requires more manual work, especially when it comes to parsing and handling the response data.

True and also the setup of the request query.
Frankly it's strange that the headers setting is avilable in tODataInput but not in SAP one.

Why not add this feature also in SAP Odata component?
