Assign the System Alias to the Service in SAP Gateway

After adding our Data Model to a consumption model, we must enable SAP Gateway to correctly identify the SAP backend system that can process OData requests from our service.

We do so by manually assigning the same system alias defined for the Data Model to our service on the SAP Gateway hub, as follows:

1. Use transaction SPRO, select  SAP Reference IMG    SAP Customizing Implementation Guide   SAP Gateway    OData Channel    Administration   General Settings   Assign SAP System Aliases to OData Service 

   
   
   

   Figure 1: Assign the same system alias as the Data Model to the service

2. Choose New Entries and enter the following:

   

   • In the column, Service Doc. Identifier, enter the name of your Data Model, ZSH_USER_BOR_0001

   • In the column, SAP system alias, press F4 and select the system alias from the list displayed. For example, EX1_TRUSTED_800.

     Note

     The system alias you choose should be the same system alias you defined while creating the Data Model.

   

3. Click Save to save your configuration settings.

You have successfully enabled the SAP Gateway service for OData request processing.

Continue with Testing the Service.
