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:

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

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

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

In this section:

 

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
