Known issues and limitations

This section describes any issues or limitations associated with the SumTotal connector.

SumTotal OData API performance and throttling limits

For information about OData API performance and throttling limits for SumTotal connections, go to SumTotal's OData API functionality under the Important Notes section. These limitations apply to both the SumTotal connector (which uses the OData API as an implementation detail) and the 'actual' OData Hosted API when accessing the same endpoints.

Table retrieval rate

As a guideline, most default tables are retrieved at approximately 1000 rows per second using the SumTotal connector. If you require faster retrieval rates, consider using the RowVersionId filter parameter. You can pass this parameter directly to the environment hosted URL by appending it as a query string parameter. Full URL example with rowVersionId parameter: https://{host}.sumtotalystems.com/?rowVersionId=1234.
