Note

We strongly recommend using the OData Channel (ODC) programming paradigm for all SAP NetWeaver Gateway development.

As of SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 Support Package 05, you are strongly recommended to use the Service Builder (transaction SEGW) for your OData design-time development . For more information, see SAP NetWeaver Gateway Service Builder.

Depending on whether you want to develop SAP NetWeaver Gateway content in an SAP Business Suite backend system or in an SAP NetWeaver Gateway hub system, you can choose between embedded deployment or central hub deployment. For more information, see the Embedded Versus Hub Deployment and the Deployment Options section.

Apart from basic configuration settings the OData Channel configuration activities for the SAP Business Suite backend system are listed in the Implementation Guide (IMG) in the backend system where software component IW_BEP is deployed. In the SAP Reference IMG navigate to Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver  Next navigation step Gateway Service Enablement Next navigation step Backend OData Channel End of the navigation path.
