# Connecting to other ERP systems using REST

Extract data securely from an ERP with REST for use in remote tables and extraction tables.

## REST access configuration

Access business data from an ERP using REST APIs. For more information, see [REST API connector for Zero Copy Connector for ERP](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/erp-integration-framework/erp-rest-api-connector.md) and [Add a REST service manually in Zero Copy Connector for ERP](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/erp-integration-framework/erp-add-a-rest-service-manually.md).

For API details, see [sn\_erp\_integration API - Scoped, Global](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/api-reference/server-api-reference/sn_erp_integrationBothAPI.md).

## Oracle ERP systems

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/erp-integration-framework/erp-canvas-oracle-ebs-overview.md).

## Providing REST access to users

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-security/create-https-connection.md).

## Enabling download of XML files

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

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

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/erp-integration-framework/obtain-data-from-workday-using-rest-api.md) and [Add a REST entity to a model operation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/erp-integration-framework/add-a-rest-entity-to-a-model-operation.md).
