Entity → Get Metadata
AI-generatedSummary
Fetch metadata from a specified SAP OData service, retrieving either the service document listing all entity sets and function imports or the full service metadata (XML schema).
Inputs
- Authentication — Select the authentication method to connect to the SAP OData service (Basic Auth/None, None for public services, or OAuth2).
- Service (required) — Specify the SAP OData service path, either chosen from a list or entered manually (must start and end with '/').
- Metadata Type (required) — Choose the type of metadata to retrieve: the service document or the full $metadata XML schema.
- Options — Advanced settings including data type conversion (converting SAP-specific data types to native JavaScript types), removal of metadata fields from results, cache control to clear cached data before execution, and whether to include execution performance metrics in output.
Output shape
a single item containing the requested SAP OData metadata information (either parsed entity sets and function imports for service document or raw XML for $metadata).
Output content depends on the selected Metadata Type. Data type conversion and metadata field removal options affect the shape and cleanliness of the results. Execution metrics, if enabled, appear in a _metrics property on the output. Cache clearing controls fresh retrieval of metadata; cache is also automatically cleared on 404 errors.
