The SAP OData Connector now supports HTTP Offload Proxy to enable long-running actions like handling large datasets or bulk data requests. This enhancement introduces a new “Extract Bulk Data” action, which allows for extended response times, ensuring efficient processing for SAP ECC to S/4HANA migration scenarios and other large-scale operations.
