SData

Posted By Robert Braunlich over 8 years ago

I need some advice with a lead. It is unusual because they are primarily interested in developing an interface to Sage 300 from their custom in house software, which is developed in a LINUX environment using PHP and PYTHON programming. Specifically they want to be able to use the SData protocol to read/write to Sage 300 ERP. There is only limited info I can find so far about the SData potential to accomplish this.

What resources are available, and is there anyone out there with any experience with SData?

FYI,actual Sage functionality is secondary - they are confident that it will support their needs once they have the data in it - so please, no sales cycle comments.

Thank you in advance.

There's not much that I've seen around with SData. Reading from Sage would be relatively easy. Writing back to Sage can be more challenging. One option might be to have the other side populate some tables in a database and use a customization on the Sage side to import. It could be a macro or something like IMan. It would allow the other side to be less tied to a version of Sage and give you more security over what data was exposed through the interface.

But, if you find something using SData - I'd be interested to see what you come up with!

I second what Django says, have Sage 300 pull the data into Sage 300 rather than pushing data to Sage 300. It is much simpler this way. Reading data from Sage 300 is easy, they can read directly from the SQL database and it will be fast, skip trying to use SData for the reads since it will be slow and record based.
