SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction SEGW) provides an easy-to-use set of tools for creating OData services. It is a dedicated design-time transaction which provides a toolset for creating services easily and efficiently, and supports the entire service development life cycle and modeling process. The Service Builder succinctly blends new and existing ABAP development tools in an OData-compliant modeling transaction.
The Service Builder supports the following development phases for OData services:
Data Model Definition
Service Implementation
Service Maintenance
The Service Builder development concept is organized around projects. Projects are used to store the artifacts developers need to create a service and its underlying data model together in one place. Since projects consolidate all related data, developers can easily work on multiple projects in parallel and reuse data between projects before generating and activating the actual service.
