How to Connect CDS view API from S4HANA on-permise system into Workiva

Request Demo

Hi ,

We want to connect our SAP S4HANA On-premise system  with workiva, where we want to use CDS View from S4HANA to load data into workiva..? Tried to find some standard document but unable to find how to integrate. Please let me know if anyone have experience on using CDS view API from SAP S4HANA into workiva or any standard document is available for integration.

Regards,

Arvind

    While there's no standard, out-of-the-box integration specifically for CDS Views, there are a few viable approaches to achieve your goal of loading data from CDS Views into Workiva. Given your on-premises environment, it's likely you'll need to set up a Workiva GroundRunner to facilitate the connection.

    Here are two primary options to consider:

    1. OData Services:

      • Expose CDS Views: Utilize SAP Gateway to expose your CDS Views as OData services.
      • HTTP Connector: Leverage Workiva's HTTP connector to securely pull the data from these OData services into Workiva.

    2. Custom ABAP Development:

      • ABAP Program: Develop a custom ABAP program to extract data from your CDS Views.
      • Formatting: Format the extracted data into a suitable format (e.g., CSV, JSON).
      • GroundRunner: Configure the ABAP program to deposit the formatted data file into a designated watched folder on the GroundRunner.
      • Workiva Chain: Set up a Workiva chain to monitor the watched folder and automatically pick up the file for further processing within Workiva.

    The optimal choice between these two approaches will depend on factors such as your organization's technical expertise, desired level of automation, and specific data transformation requirements.
