When creating a data source on a backend data store, OData access can be enabled and configured on the OData tab of any data store in the Web UI. As part of the process for creating an OData-enabled data source, you may configure an OData schema map with the Configure Schema editor. The schema map exposes the backend data as an OData model. Once the schema map has been configured and the data source saved, OData queries can be made to the data source URL provided in the OData Access URI field.

In some cases, you might want to access multiple OData schema with the same resource path. This can be achieved by creating a data source group of OData-enabled data sources. You begin this process by creating individual OData-enabled data sources. These data sources can be created on one or more backend data stores. Once the OData-enabled data sources have been created, you can proceed by creating a data source group comprised of these data sources. The URI provided in the OData Access URI field of the data source group can then be used in your OData resource path.
