# Connecting to other ERP systems using REST {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated August 24, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Extract data securely from an ERP with REST for use in remote tables and extraction tables.

## REST access configuration {#erp-canvas-use-rest__section_gy1_4dd_ckc}

Access business data from an ERP using REST APIs. For more information, see [REST API connector for Zero Copy Connector for ERP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/0lBFTTrpc2aEkZx4gI2rNA "Use the REST API connector to connect to any RESTful API with standardized API specification formats.") and [Add a REST service manually in Zero Copy Connector for ERP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/IS2Fm_1knTkgURehI1HnNQ "When adding an entity to a model using REST, if the service you need isn't listed, add the service manually in Zero Copy Connector for ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).").

For API details, see .

## Oracle ERP systems {#erp-canvas-use-rest__section_oracle_rest_link}

Oracle E-Business Suite can connect using REST. For details specific to Oracle, see [Oracle E-Business Suite support in Zero Copy Connector for ERP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ambY3Ophg4W0aIO3sHA4qw "Zero Copy Connector for ERP reads business data from Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) through REST services, without copying the data into ServiceNow.").

## Providing REST access to users {#erp-canvas-use-rest__section_vcl_nsn_pjc}

You must have an ERP system enabled for REST connections. REST connections use the HTTP connection template. For more information, see [Create an HTTP(s) connection](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-https-connection&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

## Enabling download of XML files {#erp-canvas-use-rest__section_onr_nsn_pjc}

The glide.attachment.extensions system property restricts the file types that can be downloaded. This property is empty by default. Check that the xml file extension hasn't been added to this property. For more information, see .

## Heartbeat information {#erp-canvas-use-rest__section_w3s_ssn_pjc}

An ERP system has separate heartbeat indicators for RFC and HTTP.

When a system is established, the heartbeats are set to active and the status is updated, including any errors.

## Supported Workday APIs {#erp-canvas-use-rest__section_ifj_r1n_tjc}

Zero Copy Connector for ERP supports most Workday APIs. For more information about services, see the [Workday REST Services Directory](https://community.workday.com/sites/default/files/file-hosting/restapi/) in the Workday Community.

For steps to add a REST entity to a model operation, see [Obtaining data from Workday using REST APIs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/c80AqXrgG__cpL1TT7DfFg "Access data from Workday using REST APIs.") and [Add a REST entity to a model operation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/hBTaDfb0bjtK6npAnkbawg "Specify the REST entity that a Zero Copy Connector for ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) model uses for a read, update, or create operation.").
