13 Batch Operations

SData supports a batch mode for CRUD operations. In this mode, several operations are submitted together as a single batch request.

This mode supports processes that import, update or delete a large number of resources. It’s also used by the SData synchronization protocol.

The following subsections describe different aspects of the SData batching protocol:

• Batching URL

• Metadata

• Synchronous request

• Batch response

• Asynchronous operations

• Error handling
