Open Business Data Fabric (OBDF) Connectivity

Note: OBDF formerly known as Platform Data Sharing (PDS).

System Administrators can now seamlessly import business views from various data sources into Bizview using the OBDF Connector.

Prerequisite: The customer must be on the Platform and possess an Angles Professional Connector Admin license, with the Bizview connection configured in Angles.

This enhancement introduces a feature that enables the importation of diverse Business Views from multiple ERPs (connections) within Angles. After the import process, Bizview generates a log that details which Business Views were successfully imported and provides a list of any that encountered issues during the import.

Note: This feature is only available for Platform-enabled users.

Access this feature by selecting the System icon from the menu. Then, access the new Platform Services subsection and select Import PDS:

The Import PDS screen displays, as shown below. Select Import PDS to continue:
