Adding an OData Service

To execute an OData action, you must first add an OData service with the corresponding actions to your application.

Prerequisites

Have ready the end-point URL of the OData service. You'll need to enter it manually when creating the service.

Procedure

  1. In the Scripting section of your analytic application, click (Add OData Services).

    A new entry with the default name ODataService_1 appears below the OData Services node. A side panel opens on the right.

  2. In the side panel, do the following:
    1. Change the default name of the new service to a meaningful name, if you want.
    2. Select the system from the list of available SAP S/4HANA systems whose connections were already created in SAP Analytics Cloud under Connections.
    3. Manually enter a valid end-point URL of the OData Service, in the format /some/end_point/url/.

      You need to know the URL because there is no browse catalog available.

  3. Click the refresh button next to Metadata to review the metadata of the new OData service.
  4. Click Done to close the panel.

Results

Now you can use the OData action. For further information, please see Example 1: Using OData Actions in an Application
