Data Binding

Parameter Description

Data Provider (DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item obtains the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: Names can be a maximum of 30 characters and consist of characters A-Z, 0-9 and _, but cannot start or end with _. Adhering to these conventions simplifies the upgrade to subsequent SAP releases.
