Hello Bharath,

To configure a callback URL for your Mendix app when consuming an SAP OData service, you need to set up a REST service in Mendix that can act as a callback receiver. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Identify the Callback Response:

    • Check the SAP OData service documentation to understand the structure and format of the callback response.

  2. Create a REST Service in Mendix:

    • In your Mendix app, create a POST REST service that will receive the callback data from SAP.
    • Define an appropriate microflow to process the incoming request and handle the response accordingly.

  3. Expose the Callback Endpoint:

    • Ensure that the REST service is exposed with the correct URL that SAP expects.
    • The URL should be publicly accessible if SAP needs to send callbacks from outside your network.

  4. Configure Security & Authentication:

    • Since you're using SAML for SSO, you might need to ensure that the callback service can authenticate requests properly.
    • If SAP requires authentication, configure OAuth, API keys, or other security mechanisms as needed.

  5. Register the Callback URL with SAP:

    • Provide the Mendix REST service URL as the callback URL when configuring the SAP OData service.

Hi Bharat,

 

You can handle this 

1.SAP may require a callback URL for asynchronous OData operations or for event-based updates.

2.You might need to set the callback URL in SAP's backend configuration.

3.Check SAP Gateway or SAP BTP settings where external service endpoints are configured.

 

Now from Mendix App

 

Since your Mendix app is consuming the SAP OData service, you must define an endpoint in Mendix where SAP can send the callback response.

 

1. Expose a REST API in Mendix

2.In SAP Gateway or BTP, configure this URL as the callback REST endpoint for receiving responses.

 

Since you are using SAML for SSO, ensure that:

1.The callback endpoint is publicly accessible if SAP is external.

2.Proper authentication mechanisms are in place (SAP may need a token or API key).

3.If SAML is enforced globally, consider allowing exceptions for API endpoints.

 

Hope this helps. Share more information, so I can help you in detailed.
