How to write or lookup data to OData in SSIS (Import data)

In upper section we learned how to read data, now in this section we will learn how to configure OData in the API Source to Post data to the OData.

1. Read the data from the source, being any desired source component. In example we will use ZappySys Dummy Data Source component.
