2627985 - How to : OnboardingCandidateInfo Odata API Upsert / Update - SF Odata API

How to do Odata API Update / Upsert using SFOdata.OnboardingCandidateInfo, OnboardingCandidateInfo

SAP Successfactors HCM Suite

There are 2 ways to trigger an update on an MDF entity via Odata.

1. One is the Post with X-HTTP-Method: MERGE naming the key in the Url and in the body + the fields(that should be updated).

2. Via /upsert without the X-HTTP-Method in the header.

example 1) 
url: https://<localhost:8080>/odata/v2/OnboardingCandidateInfo(applicantId=XXX)

body:

{
"__metadata":
{ "uri":"OnboardingCandidateInfo(applicantId='XXX')",
"type" : "SFOData.OnboardingCandidateInfo"

},
"readyToHire":true
}

example 2)
url: http://localhost:8080/odata/v2/upsert

body:

{
"__metadata":
{ "uri":"OnboardingCandidateInfo(applicantId='XXX')",
"type" : "SFOData.OnboardingCandidateInfo"

},
"readyToHire":true
}

Note : The upsert is more generic and can be used in this manner for all MDF entities. applicantId is the external code of the OnboardingCandidateInfo. So, in case another MDF entity is called, the external code of that entity must be used instead.
