Glue Rest API v3 adds the capability to edit generated objects, configure and control mass-replication processes, filter data, and query data directly without using Glue tables as a staging area.

It is modeled around a few Objects:

In this section:

  • Glue Tables - represents a folder/structure outside of SAP

  • Glue Queues - represents a staging queue where data is temporarily stored

  • SAP Objects - represents SAP standard data storage objects (tables, views, ADSOs, etc.)

Using the API the user is able to move data between these objects through processes. The result of this combination is called workflow.

Workflow examples:

SAP Table → Process → Glue Queue ← Glue HTTP Endpoint

SAP ADSO → Process → Glue Table

SAP Table → Multiple parallel processes → Glue table
