Hi,
I’m just looking at zato for odoo integration and would like to see a couple of examples reading from odoo and writing to odoo including the use of SIO can anyone help?
Thank you in advance
Marc
Hi Marc,
I’d be happy to author a sample Odoo/SimpleIO service but can you please recommend a public Odoo instance to connect to so that we can have access to the same backend Odoo server?
Regards.
Hi,
Have set-up a public instance with the demo data
http://ec2-54-202-220-192.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8069/
DB: zato
User: admin
Feel free to change the password.
Best Regards,
Marc
Just a general note: the odoo xml-rpc API is documented here:
https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/api_integration.html
This is the API I integrated with via zato in the past via https://zato.io/docs/progguide/examples/odoo.html
The odoo documentation above give examples of “searching” the odoo API, and the zato doc has an example of searching the user model of odoo from a zato service. I was able to use this data in a django app via zato.
Hello @richarddijkstra,
I’d like to ask whether you are interested in making use of Zato in your Odoo-related projects or if you are interested in extending Zato to cover functionality beyond Odoo? Or both? 
Regards.
Hello @richarddijkstra,
just for reference, I’d not say that Zato is tightly integrated with Odoo. Odoo is one technologies and products that you can connect to but this is not a tight integration in the sense that Zato depends on Odoo or the other way around.
As to the question whether Zato could connect to multiple Odoo instances - yes, this is definitely doable. You just need to create as many outgoing Odoo connections as needed and then refer to them in your code by their names.
https://zato.io/docs/web-admin/outgoing/odoo.html
https://zato.io/docs/progguide/examples/odoo.html
In other words, you can connect to as many systems, including different versions of Odoo, as needed. There are no limits such as 1 Zato cluster = 1 Odoo server, nothing of that sort.
