Locating the Data Services

Prerequisites

The model into which you want to import the data services is open in Storyboard.

Context

You import the data services required as the source of information processed in the component. You can import a range of data services - such as BAPIs, RFCs, Web services, SAP enterprise services, or other Visual Composer components - from a number of different systems. You perform this procedure on the Design board, after you open the component.

For more information, see Discovering Data Services .

Procedure

Click the Search button in the task-panel toolbar.
In the Search in dropdown list, choose the system from which you want to retrieve the data service.
In the Search for field, enter the name of the data service that you want to locate.
In the Type field, choose the type of data service, for example, Bapi/RFC , Service Registry , WSDL , or Model .
Click Search . All data services matching the search criteria and residing in the selected system are displayed.
From the Results list, locate the data service that you require and drag it onto the workspace.
To import additional data services, repeat the procedure for each data service.

Note

You can test the functionality of a data service by right-clicking its icon and choosing Test Data Service from the context menu. In the Test Data Service dialog box, enter values in the mandatory fields and click Test to display the results of the query.

Results

The data services are now in the component and you are ready to model the component logic and flow by creating and configuring the views and their connections.
