Import the Function 

Use

The functionality of the sample iView, Banks iView, is based on the SAP function BAPI_BANK_GETLIST. Therefore, this function needs to be imported into the Visual Composer Storyboard. The import process brings in meta-data about the function, such as the fields required for input and the data that is output.

       4.      Log on to the portal as a user that exists in the connected back-end system, or which is mapped to a user of that system. Click OK.

Once a connection to the portal is established, a list of system aliases defined in the portal system landscape appears in the System drop-down list.
