The Ariba Batch Source plugin lets you integrate bulk data from SAP Ariba
applications with Cloud Data Fusion. You can configure and execute
bulk data transfers from Ariba without any coding.

Ariba Client Secret
Yes
Required. The Ariba client secret.
Ariba API Key

the following: S4VALL.
System Type
No
Required. The type of system the Ariba instance runs on: Production
or Sandbox.
Reference Name
No
Required. Uniquely identifies the source for lineage,
annotating metadata.
View Template Name
Yes
Required. The Name of the view template from which data is extracted,
similar to the following: RequestFactSystemView.

Limits
For more information about the SAP Ariba Analytical Reporting API limits, see the
SAP documentation.
The following rate limits affect your Cloud Data Fusion pipelines.
Time span limits
The number of transactions posted within a certain time period must not exceed
the limit.
The time span limit between From Date and To Date is
one year. Exceeding the limit results in a validation error. For example,
entering the following filter results in a validation error because the time
span is greater than one year: TimeCreated >= 2021-12-01T00:00:00Z and
TimeCreated <= 2022-03-29T00:00:00Z.
API rate limits
Job submission limits: 1 per second, 2 per minute, 8 per hour, 40 per day.
When the limits are exceeded during a job, the pipeline fails.
The data extraction limit for one day is two million records. For
example: 40 API calls per day * 50,000 records extracted per API
call = 2,000,000 (2 million) records per day.
Rate limits are restored regularly at 00:00 AM in the timezone of the SAP Ariba
data center.
