Working on Service Builder Projects Complying with OData V4
This document describes about the Service Builder projects that comply with OData V4, the development approach followed by it and its User Interface.
You can create services in Service Builder based on OData V4. The development approach followed for data model definition in SAP Gateway Service Builder 7.50 SP04 is Declarative Model Definition. If you need a service to expose a specific data, you can define a new data model for the new service and integrate your own source code. If a project exists that could be applied to a similar use-case, you can create a copy of the project and then make minimal change as required.
SAP Gateway Service Builder simplifies and structures the service development and modeling process required for exposing and consuming data by using projects. Developers first create a project to develop, model, and store all the development artifacts they need to define a service. The focus on project-based service development is consequently reflected in the Service Builder User Interface.
