Consume o11 Data in ODC
Application Type
Reactive

I have a client who has a huge Application on o11, built iteratively over 6 years. They want to use Agent Workbench and so we have set up their ODC environment.


To be able to use Agent Workbench in any capacity really, we need to be able to access their data that is held in o11 Databases.

Is it possible, currently to connect to that database from ODC so we can reference that data in Agent Workbench?

Hi Aaron, 

Yes you will be able to connect to your O11 instance in ODC by configuring the OutSystems 11 connector as you mention.

Currently that is only available in EAP. I advise you go to https://www.outsystems.com/platform-unification and register. Once accepted, you will be onboarded in the program and OutSystems will provide all the information you need to expose the entities in O11 (through configuration in Lifetime) and then consume them using the OutSystems connector in ODC. 

Hope it helps :)

Hi Aaron,

I'm thinking of two options. One is to expose the O11 data through REST APIs and consume those APIs in ODC. The other is to treat the O11 database as an external DB and create an External Database Connection directly in ODC so you can query the data from there. 

For reference, you can check the official guides:

I have attempted to create a connection to SQL Server (requested a Databse User and found the IP ranges I *think* I need to allow list from IP Ranges

Not the most straightforward though, and am unsure if this is exactly what I need to do.

I was at the Conference and remember them mentioning being able to connect easily with o11.
I asked one of my colleagues to check and they said you could Connect through Connections from ODC Portal. Though for the ODC environment that has just been created for our Client we don't have this option.

Any idea why?

Thanks for the responses!

I've notified the Client to sign up to the EAP. Hopefully that goes smoothly.

Hi @Aaron Gordon,

I am also looking for possibilities  to use the OS11 data into our ODC apps. I come across with recently launched odc-data-fabric-connector. Have you get the chance to check this.


Thanks
Pankaj
