• Select the Layer2 Data Provider for OData to connect. The provider is part of the Layer2 Cloud Connector ADO.NET provider package and should be already installed with the connector.
• A valid connection string looks like this: URL=https://<YourSAPC4CTenant>/sap/byd/odata/v1/c4codata/;User=username; Authentication=Windows;
• A data query can look like this: SELECT * FROM AccountCollection
  Generally, you can connect to Accounts, Contacts, Sales Leads, Opportunities, Employees, Products, Service Requests, Visits, and many more. Please find more details about the OData API and exposed collections in the SAP C4C OData API Reference.
• If you want to write to SAP, in some cases a CSRF Token is required to additionally secure the connection. Please use the following authentication method for this: Authentication=Windows,SAPCsrfHeader;
• Several other authentication methods are generally supported. See provider specification linked above for more information.
• Please verify the select statement. Use the data preview to check out the result of your query.
• You can make use of OData to query your data as supported by the data provider and source system. For any specification of supported queries see SAP documentation. You can browse OData collections in the web browser. Simply paste your URL from there.
