Introduction
The Service Implementation contains the references to the operations and the methods for the service. It is a sub tree containing the runtime aspects of the service as reflected in the Data Provider Class.
Note This Document is applicable only for the projects of type Service with SAP Annotations and Service with Vocabulary-Based Annotations.
The sub tree consists of the following:
  • <Entity Set Name >: The actual name of an entity set object that already exists in the Entity Set folder under the data model folder of the project. You cannot edit, add, delete, or change any actual entity set contained in this Entity Set folder, as it is reflected from the data model folder. Right click the folder to do the following:
    • Display: Switches between the ready-only and edit mode for the Service Builder.
    • Change: Switches between the ready-only and edit mode for the Service Builder.
    • Details: The Service Entity Set table displays in the view on the right hand side. It has the following columns:
      • Service Entity Set: Displays the names of all the entity sets for the service in the Service Implementation folder.
      • Model Entity Set: Displays the names of all the entity sets for the model in the Service Implementation folder.
      In addition, the selected entity set in the project tree expands to display the default set of operations. Each entity set entry contains a default set of CRUD and query operations. The following are the operations:
      • Create
      • Delete
      • GetEntity (Read)
      • GetEntitySet (Query)

        • Data Source Name: Displays the name of the data source as specified in the mapping.
