SAP S/4 HANA
The SAP S/4 HANA connector provides support for executing SAP S/4 HANA Cloud APIs using OData V2 or OData V4 interfaces.
The following features are supported by the SAP S/4 HANA connector:
• Provides support for connecting to a compliant SAP S/4 HANA Cloud service, discovering entity sets exposed by the services and importing entity definitions in the form of native JSON schemas.
• The connector supports fetching entities in two modes:
• Managed mode: Fetches entities where the entity data complies with the imported schemas.
• Raw Mode: Fetches entities where SAP S/4 HANA Cloud service is accessed directly, and the exchanged data is not constrained and validated by the adapter-provided schema.
Note:  The SAP S/4 HANA adapter extends the OData connector .

Additional Information
SAP S/4 HANA APIs on SAP.com require an API Key for authorization.
The SAP S/4 HANA connector provides an authentication type of API Key that uses this value. This property is available through the command -AK or -APIKEY. It may be helpful to define a Configuration Variable called SAPAPIKEY containing your key. You can then have multiple connections that referencing %SAPAPIKEY% while your key is stored in just one place.
