Defining the Properties of the Data Service (SAP Library - SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer: User Guide)

Defining the Properties of the Data Service

Use

You may wish to check the properties defined for your data service. This may be important, for example, if the output of the data service changes or updates the database (requiring the Requires commit property).

Procedure

...

1. Navigate to the data service for which you want to define properties, and select it in the Design workspace. See Navigating the Model.

2. Choose Model ® Define Properties. The Properties task panel appears.

3. Define the following properties for the data service

Behavior
Name	Name of the data service. To change the name, enter any text in the field.
SAP System	The alias of the back-end system from which the data service was imported. If you deploy an iView to a portal environment in which the back-end system is named differently, you will need to edit the system value of each data service in the iView to enable the iView to function properly.
Sys. type	The type of system – such as R/3, BI or Siebel – from which the data service has been imported.
Function	The function on which this data service is based. There is no need to edit this field.
Requires commit?	For function modules that modify the database, this indicates that a second “commit” call is required to confirm the database update.
Convert outputs?	When checked, this option indicates that a conversion BAPI is required, for values in one unit of measurement to another.
Graphic Symbol	Options that let you customize certain aspects of the design time environment, and have no bearing on the compiled code. See Customizing the Design Workspace.
Documentation	Options that let you create text for inclusion in the automatically-generated project documentation. See Defining Documentation Properties for Model Components.
