Getting Started with the Service Builder

SAP Gateway Service Builder provides developers with an easy-to-use set of tools for creating services. It has been conceived for the code-based OData Channel and supports developers throughout the entire development life cycle of a service. This cookbook follows one use case and comprises the following steps:
  1. Creating a Project
  2. Copying a Service Builder Project
  3. Importing a Data Model
  4. Importing a Data Source (RFC/BOR Interface)
  5. Editing Properties
  6. Checking Project Consistency
  7. Creating Associations
  8. Mapping Operations
  9. Generating the Service
  10. Service Maintenance

Prerequisites

To create a new service based on the steps listed above, you require:
  • A well-formed data model in an .edmx or .xml file, which you can import into the Service Builder to create your data model.
  • A browser that can display the XML content provided by the service so you can consume the data.
