If environment is not selected, then the variable that were part of “Environment” will not be accessible in side the collection. Select the created environment “SAP Gateway” in the collection. (Providing log in credential in Postman) Step 6: Select Environment in Collection: The default authorization type is “Inherit from parent”). (You can go to the authorization tab for each request to find out the authorization type. I prefer to maintain the credentials in collection level, so that all the request added under that collection will inherit the credential. After providing the data, please click on “save”. So, I will use the “Basic Auth” type in authorization. In my case, I will authenticate using user id and password. Once you add both the request, the collection will look like below Step 5: Authorization with User id and Password: Please maintain “sap-client” parameter in both GET and POST API. After adding the API, please click on “save”. To add the request, click on the 3 dot highlighted below in collection and select “Add Request”.įollow the above step and add the GET and POST API. (Create collection in Postman) Step 4: Add request to Collection: Second one will be used to “POST” the attendance details to S/4 Hana system through Gateway.First one will be the “GET” request which will be used to fetch the CSRF Token and the cookie.Now, let’s create a collection named “Time Integration” where we will add 2 requests. (Create Environment Variables in Postman) Step 3: Create Collection: After creating the variable, please click on “save”. So, we will create two variables, one for holding the value from CSRF Token and one for Cookie. We would set the values of CSRF Token and Cookie. (Environment Creation in Postman) Step 2: Create Environment Variable:
#Postman download all data plus#
Go to “Environment” tab in Postman and click on the “Create New Environment”(highlighted plus button) and provide a name For example, HCM Time Integration can be collection which has all the API required for Time Integration. Postman collection is the collection of APIs which are logically grouped in one unit. So, I will create a single environment “SAP Gateway” and I will use it in all the Collections to validate the developed OData services. I mostly use Postman to validate the OData that has been created in SAP Gateway Service Builder(T-Code: SEGW). We have to create the environment in postman where we can define the environment variable. Please stay connect to find out how it will be done The variable will be set from GET Response header and it will be used in POST request header for CSRF Token and cookie.
#Postman download all data install#
If you don’t have the tool yet, please fell free to download and install it from here. More information on the tool can be found here. We will use the famous tool “Postman” for testing our API.The CSRF token and the cookie been fetched in the previous API will be passed to the request header. Second API is used to post the data to Gateway.( I prefer to have a separate service which can be used to fetch the CSRF token and cookie centrally by all the service consumer.) Most of us prefer to get the CSRF token and cookie using the same API which posts the data. First API is used to get the CSRF Token and the cookie.OData has been created in S/4 Hana system in Gateway Service Builder(T-Code: SEGW).If you are getting the mentioned error, please check out the blog post for the resolution. This is a continuation of blog post “ CSRF Token Validation Failed in POST method in Gateway Client“.
So, in this blog post we will see how we can make use of “Variable” in Postman to automate POST API call. So, fetching the CSRF token and cookie each time from GET API and passing it to the header of POST method is a tedious task. In the latest S/4 Hana patch, which follows strict CSRF rule, we have to set the cookie along with the CSRF token. POST) in the system requires CSRF token to successfully post the data. The http methods which modifies the data(e.g.
