Search for DFeller aka Dawn on here. She has done work with SData and should be able to assist.

Thanks Big Louie.  I'll reach out to Dawn.

SData seems really cool, but not much info. yet.

My understanding is that SData is read-only, you can't write data into the Sage 100 tables with it.  You have to use the BOI to write data.

I just started experimenting with SData last week and have not yet tried to write back to Sage 100, but on the SData Security tab in Role Maintenance the tables are divided up into two categories; Business Tables and Read-Only Tables. The Business Tables have CRUD permission assignments which leads me to believe that they are not read only. Am I mistaken with this assumption?

sData for Sage 100 ERP is read-only. Don't waste your time if that is what you need to do.

Greetings,

I did a demo at Sage Summit in 2013 showing how to create Customers and Sales Order using the Sage 100 ERP SData Native Provider Adapter.  The full demo code and other information was made available to those that attended my session.  

Just to give you some insight on how to do this, here is a partial sample of the code for creating a customer, please note that this is Demo code, not production code and forgive the poor formatting.

newCustomer.html:

function submitNewCustomer() {

var dropBoxElement = document.getElementById('divisionSelected');

var ardivisionno = dropBoxElement.options[dropBoxElement.selectedIndex].value;

var customerno = document.getElementById('customerno').value;

dropBoxElement = document.getElementById('salespersonSelected');

var salespersonkeystring = dropBoxElement.options[dropBoxElement.selectedIndex].value;

salespersonkey = salespersonkeystring.split(";");

var aUrl = '/sdata/MasApp/MasContract/' + gCompany + '/AR_Customer(\'' + ardivisionno + ';' + customerno + '\')';

var aPayload = '<AR_Customer sdata:uri="' + aUrl + '" xmlns="">';

aPayload += '<ARDivisionNo>' + ardivisionno + '</ARDivisionNo>';

aPayload += '<CustomerNo>' + customerno + '</CustomerNo>';

aPayload += '<SalespersonDivisionNo>' + ardivisionno + '</SalespersonDivisionNo>';

aPayload += '<SalespersonNo>' + salespersonkey[1] + '</SalespersonNo>';

aPayload += '</AR_Customer>';

sdataPost(

aUrl,

aPayload,

'AR_Customer'

);

}

sDataRequest.js:

function sdataPost(urlToPost, myPayload, myResource) {

var xmlhttp;

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

// everything but IE

xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

} else {

// IE

xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

}

// event handler for when the xml response returns

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {

statusText(xmlhttp);

if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) {

window['change' + myResource]();

if (xmlhttp.status!=200) {

//document.getElementById('errorInfo').innerHTML = xmlhttp.status.toString() + xmlhttp.responseText;

//alert (xmlhttp.responseText);

popError(xmlhttp);

} else {

alert ('Success!');

window.location.assign("customerlite.html");

}

}

}

myPayload =

'<entry xmlns:atom="www.w3.org/.../Atom" ' +

'xmlns:xs="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema" ' +

'xmlns:cf="www.microsoft.com/.../2005" ' +

'xmlns="www.w3.org/.../Atom" ' +

'xmlns:sdata="schemas.sage.com/.../1" ' +

'xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" ' +

'xmlns:opensearch="a9.com/.../" ' +

'xmlns:sync="schemas.sage.com/.../1" ' +

'xmlns:sme="schemas.sage.com/.../2007" ' +

'xmlns:http="schemas.sage.com/.../1"> ' +

'<sdata:payload>' +

myPayload +

'</sdata:payload>' +

'</entry>';

urlToPut = foolCache(urlToPost);

xmlhttp.open("POST",urlToPost,true);

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64Encode(gAuthString));

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/atom+xml;type=entry");

xmlhttp.send(myPayload);

}

Thank you,

Kent,

I downloaded the session: "P-51 - Sage 100 ERP SData and How to Create Web Integrations" PowerPoint (pdf) presentation from the Sage Summit 2013 site, but I didn't see the code samples.

Is there a site with the code samples posted or can you let me know where I can get the code samples that you presented in the Sage Summit session?

Thanks,

Danny

Kent,

Did you have to do something with the contract to make that work? As far as I can see, all fields in schema are read-only. Is there a new contract out there or something?

Greetings,

The full demo code was only available to those that attended the SData session at Sage Summit last year.  I need to check if that can be made generally available at this point.

MWilliams:

I did not have to change the contract in order to get this to work. I just had to grant permissions in Role Maintenance.

Thanks,

Kent

Greetings,

Just wanted to post a status update:  We have approval to post the SData Demo information and I am working with our PM Team to make this available.  As soon as I have details on where/how it can be downloaded, I will post back.

Thank you,

Kent
