Description

The Business Events Source Connector package contains a Apache Kafka Connect source connector for extraction of SAP Business Events using OData v2 services. The connector enables subscribing to specific released business events, retrieving business events as they appear and enriching business event data by more detailed information of the corresponding event object using another customizable OData v2 service.

OData v2 may not be compatible to other versions of the OData protocol. For more details refer to https://www.odata.org/.

OData v2 entity sets can provide data in a nested format. Nesting of data types is also supported by this connector. All OData v2 simple data types are also supported by this connector. The connector makes use of meta data provided by the SAP OData v2 services when building a rich Kafka Connect schema provided with each generated SourceRecord.
