Note

This adapter is in preview and is available on Striim Developer only. See Striim Developer for more information.

Odoo is an open-source suite of business applications that covers a wide range of business functions, including CRM, accounting, inventory, sales, project management, eCommerce, and more. It offers a modular approach, allowing businesses to install only the apps they need, and is recognized for its flexibility and ease of customization.

The Odoo Reader connects with the Odoo platform and reads supported objects.

Supported authentication method

The Odoo Reader supports basic authentication using an API token. In Odoo you can generate an API token which functions as a key to access the system.

Supported objects

The following are the supported objects for reading from Odoo:

  • FieldReferences

Odoo Reader properties

Property

Type

Default value

Notes

URL

String

The base URL of the Odoo site you're connecting to. For example, http://my.odoo.com/.

Username

String

The Odoo user account used to authenticate. Together with the API token, this field is used to authenticate against the Odoo server.

API token

Password

The API token used to authenticate the user.

Check permissions

Boolean

True

Whether to use Odoo user's permissions to determine which tables and views to list.

Each user in Odoo has different permissions to access, read, or modify models. When this property is true (the default), the model permissions are examined so that modifiable models are classified as tables, read-only models are classified as views, and inaccessible models are not listed.

Connection pool size

Integer

20

Specifies the maximum number of active connections.

Exclude tables

String

A list of tables excluded from read operations. Typically used to create a list of exceptions when the Tables property includes wildcards. Misconfiguration of the Tables and Exclude Tables properties can cause "Invalid table names" errors.

Incremental load marker

String

The incremental load marker is a unique incremental column in each object used for incremental load. When no marker is specified, tables are resynced at each polling interval.

Specify the name of the column that contains the start position value. This column must meet the following criteria:

  • It should have an integer or timestamp data type (for example, a creation timestamp or an employee ID).

  • The values must be unique and continuously increasing to ensure proper incremental reading.

Migrate schema

Boolean

False

Only available in Initial Load or Automated mode. Set to True to enable initial schema migration, which propagates the object schema from the source to the target.

Mode

Select list:

  • Automated mode

  • Initial load

  • Incremental load

Automated

Automated mode applies incremental updates to objects that support incremental load and performs full resyncs for objects that do not support incremental load.

Polling interval

Integer

5m

Specifies an interval as an integer followed by a unit. Supported units are days (d), hours (h), minutes (m), or seconds (s). The reader polls the source at the specified interval.

Refresh token

Password

An OAuth 2.0 refresh token.Use the value generated while creating the token.

Start Position

String

%=-1

Value of the incremental load marker that defines the initial reading position.

Tables

String

A semicolon-delimited (;) list of objects to read from the source. Supports the % wildcard. Misconfiguration of the Tables and Exclude Tables properties can cause "Invalid table names" errors. Do not modify this property when recovery is enabled for the application.

Thread pool count

Integer

10

The number of parallel running threads. The default value of zero specifies single-threaded operation.

When the value of the thread pool counter is higher than the connection pool size, large data ingestion operations can cause the app to halt. Since best performance is achieved when using one thread for each table being synced, increasing the size of the connection pool to match the number of threads in use is a performance best practice.
