SELECT.ODATA

Must contain (or reference) an connection string, in one of the following ways:

Name of a Data Source.
This data source must contain a connection string. This can be defined using the SET command.

Complete Connection-string:
Provider="OData";URI="http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc";Format="JSON";

Lookup from a named Connection defined in Perfion Go to Administration -> Remote Queries and open a query to see available Remote Connection names: @RemoteConnectionName=ODataRemoteConnectionName

Refer to Remote Query Setup for OData manual for more information about OData connection string.

Name of the Output Data Source.

The output data can be chosen to be in XML format or JSON format depending on "Format" parameter value in OData connection string. Note that not all OData servers support both formats.

The OData query.

The query must be defined without base URI which is defined in the OData connection string.

Example:
/Orders

Specifies the request timeout in seconds. The parameter is optional.

The default value is 30 seconds.

Specifies if metadata should be included in the result. The parameter is optional. Per default, no metadata will be included in the response.

@IncludeMetadata have two options

• Full (or 1 or TRUE) - will include full metadata, if available.
• Minimal - will include minimal metadata, if available

The metadata can also be retrieved independently by using "/$metadata" OData query.

Allows receiving a full data set from OData server in case the response has paging. The parameter is optional.

Values: TRUE or 1.
By default the data will be returned without fetching any extra pages from the server.

If parameter is enabled then expected result is a single OData JSON or XML document with all data values concatenated from all pages including the page with original request data and all pages with data following after it. Perfion will read the "next" URLs present in the data and will automatically make subsequent request until all data is retrieved.

Note that Perfion will only fetch data pages which follows the original request. If there are some pages before the original data, then those pages will not be retrieved. In this case in order to retrieve the full data set reset any filters in the original OData query so that it would point to the start of the data.

Note that retrieving data sets which have many pages could result in a very large final documents which may exceed memory requirements needed to handle such data.
