Snap Settings
Parameter Name | Data Type | Description | Default Value | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
Label | String | Required. The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline. | N/A | SAP S/4HANA Delete |
API object | String | Required. Select the API that you want to access in SAP S/4HANA On-Premise instance. This drop-down list contains APIs available for the S/4HANA account configured in the Snap, each with a short description. | N/A | ZCRM_BUPA_ODATA_0001 (Odata Services for Business Partner) |
Entity | String | Required. Select a business object (the Entity or Endpoint) for the API object chosen above. | N/A | AccountCollection |
Subentity | String/Expression/Suggestion | Specify or select a subentity corresponding to the entity chosen above. | N/A | MainContact |
Customized header | Use this field set to add customized HTTP request headers for implementing specific HTTP requests other than the ones listed in the Using Customized Headers section (SAP S/4HANA Read Snap). Only one customized header can be specified in each row. Click to add a new row in this table and define the values accordingly. This field set comprises the following fields:
| |||
Field name | String | The field name of the customized HTTP request header. | N/A | If-Match |
Field value | String | The field value for the above field in the customized HTTP request header. | N/A | W/"'82F636DC08F14D22260CE67E505C231D0D2ACD95'" |
Key parameter | Required. This field set enables you to specify the key parameters for a specific entity. Providing values for all key parameters in the drop-down list enables SAP S/4HANA to identify a unique record. Key parameters are NOT the same as filters which can return multiple records. To use a filter like normal select, use the parameters at the Filter records section instead. Click to add a new row in this table and define the values accordingly. Only one key parameter can be specified in each row. This field set comprises the following fields:
| |||
Field name | String | Specify the reference parameter. | N/A | accountID |
Field value | String | Specify the value for the reference parameter in this field. The data type—String, Integer, Boolean or any other—depends on the Field name you specified for the parameter. | N/A | TEST_001 |
Disable datatype conversion | Checkbox/Expression | Select the checkbox to disable the datatype conversion for values of key parameters and filters. | Deselected | Selected |
Connection details | Use this section of Snap Settings to specify the connectivity parameters: timeout, retry count and retry interval. This field set comprises the following fields:
| |||
TimeOut | Integer | Required. Enter, in seconds, the duration for which the Snap must try to establish connection with SAP S/4HANA On-Premise instance. If the connection cannot be established within this duration, the Snap times out, writes the event to the log, and waits until the specified RetryInterval before attempting to reconnect. | 300 | 120 |
Maximum request attempts | Integer | Required. Specify an integer value to set the maximum number of reconnection attempts that the Snap must perform, in case of connection failure or timeout. | 0 | 5 |
RetryInterval | Integer | Required. Enter, in seconds, the duration for which the Snap must wait between two reconnection attempts, until the number of retries is reached. | 0 | 10 |
Snap Execution | String | Indicates how the Snap must be executed. Available options are:
| Execute only | Validate & Execute |
Troubleshooting
Error | Reason | Resolution |
---|---|---|
You have an empty value in the Field name field for the Key parameter. | The Field name field must not be empty for the Key parameter. | Enter a valid Field name for the Key parameter. |
You have an empty field in the Field name/value field for the Customized header. | The Field name/value field must not be empty for the Customized header. | Enter a valid Field name/value for the Customized header. |
API object does not exist. | Allowed API object format is <API ID>(Description). | Locate and select an API Object from the drop-down list. |

Additional information
Here is some information to assist you while using the SAP S/4HANA Delete Snap.
Snap General Behavior
The SAP S/4HANA Delete Snap supports the following:
- DELETE operation to delete data from SAP S/4HANA On-Premise instance.
- Customized HTTP Header. For more information, see Using Customized Headers (SAP S/4HANA Read Snap).
- Display of only the delete-compatible input parameter set from the upstream input Snap.
- Dynamic loading of API metadata with a Parent-child dependency structure. This means that you can:
- Select an API object from the API object field to view only entities that are related to the API object and support delete queries (delete operations).
- And then, select an entity to view values for only delete-compatible parameters related to this entity in Key parameter field.
Using Customized Headers
See Using Customized Headers (in SAP S/4HANA Read Snap).
Examples
Delete Customer Material Data from SAP S/4HANA Server
