    Localtab
    titleOn Windows
    Go to Start Menu -> Programs -> WSO2 -> Enterprise Integrator 6.4.0 Integrator. This will open a terminal and start the ESB profile.
  2. Open the ESB profile's Management Console using https://localhost:9443/carbon, and log in using admin as the username and the password.
  3. Click Add New Datasource and enter details for the new datasource as follows.

Open a command prompt execute the following CURL commands using CRUD operations:

Note

Note that you should have privileges to perform CRUD operations on the database. If not, the OData service will not work properly.

  • To get the service document:
