OData Services Consumption and IntegrationLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Integration of SPI, GenIL, Analytics and HANA with SAP NetWeaver Gateway allows consumption of business data and generates OData services. With OData Services Consumption and Integration (OSCI), SAP NetWeaver Gateway can now consume an external OData service and generate an SAP NetWeaver Gateway compliant OData Service.

The following topics are covered in this section:

Prerequisites

You have an SAP NetWeaver system where software component SAP_GWFND is deployed.

Constraints

At present the following constraints apply:

  • X-CSRF protection is supported only for ABAP servers.

  • The generated OData service will only have one Schema (namespace), even if the external service has multiple Schema (namespaces). This is because, all the artifacts in different namespaces are grouped into one namespace in the generated OData service.

  • Read operation on an entity with any of the key property of type EDM.Single is not supported.

  • $top, $filter, $skip, $orderby, $count and $select system query options are supported.

  • String, Math and Date functions are not supported.

  • Metrics parameters in URI is not supported.

  • Labels are not supported.

  • $select, $count and $filter system query options are not supported on function import.
