Set up connection between SAP C4C (Sales Cloud) and SAP Datasphere

To connect SAP Cloud for Customers (Sales Cloud) with SAP Datasphere or SAP Analytics Cloud, there are two options available. Use remote tables or load data via Data Flows.

With data flows you might have less options, that is why we recommend to use remote tables.

1. Option with remote tables

Within SAP Datasphere, go to connections.

Create a new connection with the connection type “Generic OData”.

Insert the following information:

URL https://MYXXXXX.crm.ondemand.com/sap/c4c/odata/v1/c4codataapi/

Version: V2

Use Cloud Connector: false

Authentication Type: User Name and Password

User Name: Business User

Password: Business User Password

User Name and Password are from a C4C Business User Credentials that are used to log into C4C.

Next, you need to upload the certificates. Go to you C4C instance.

You don’t need to log on. Click on the sign next to the URL. A field will open up where you will click on “Secutity is safe”.

Choose the following option to open the certificates

Afterwards, a pop up will appear. Navigate to details and download all three certificates.

Upload these certificates within SAP Datasphere by clicking on “I” in the bottom corner and going to “Configuration”. Choose the Tab Security and upload them under SSL/TLS Certificates.

You can now use remote tables.

2. Option with Data Flows for specific Data

For Leads: https://myXXXXX.crm.ondemand.com/sap/c4c/odata/analytics/ds/Codmkleah.svc 

For Masterdata:

https://myXXXXX.crm.ondemand.com/sap/c4c/odata/analytics/ds/Codcustomer.svc 

For Opportunities:

https://myXXXXX.crm.ondemand.com/sap/c4c/odata/analytics/ds/Codopph.svc 

You will do all steps like for the remote tables: except for using the Business User.

For user name and password, you will have to create an “Communication Agreement” within SAP C4C and use these credentials. There won’t be too many screenshots, since the UI is in German.

Go to SAP C4C and under Administration and General Settings you will find “Communication Agreement”.

First you choose “Communication Systems”

You will then create your new communication system. The Hostname has to be the URL of the C4C and the access should be internet. Set this communication system to “active”.

Then go to  communication agreement and create a new agreement for you newly created system. Under the tab technical data you can than find the technical name and set the password. Use these credentials for SAP Datasphere.

You will now be able to use data flows.
