Reading data

Reading is the easy case — plain odata/* actions. See Overview for how action names work.

from abstra.connectors import run_connection_action

# List with an OData filter
run_connection_action(
    connection_name="my_sap",
    action_name="odata/api_business_partner_list_a_business_partner",
    params={"$filter": "BusinessPartnerCategory eq '2'", "$top": 10},
)

# Get a single entity by key
run_connection_action(
    connection_name="my_sap",
    action_name="odata/api_business_partner_get_a_business_partner",
    params={"BusinessPartner": "1000000"},
)

Smart Chat:

List the first 10 business partners from my "my_sap" connector
where BusinessPartnerCategory equals '2'.
Use $select and $expand deliberately

Pass $select to reduce payload size, and $expand only when you need nested collections. The action description tells you which nested collections come back inline via $select.

Parameterized analytical views

Some analytical CDS views (sap:semantics="parameters") only return rows through a parameter set — the connector exposes their mandatory parameters as required fields on the list action. If a list action asks for parameters, fill them.
