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 gets 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: The name should be a maximum of 30 characters long and consist of characters “A-Z”, “0-9” and “_”, but cannot start or end with “_”. Adhering to these conventions facilitates the upgrade to future SAP releases.
