Getting Started with the Service Builder
SAP Gateway Service Builder provides
developers with an easy-to-use set of tools for creating services. It has been conceived
for the code-based OData Channel and supports developers throughout the entire development
life cycle of a service. This cookbook follows one use case and comprises the following
steps:
- Creating a Project
- Copying a Service Builder Project
- Importing a Data Model
- Importing a Data Source (RFC/BOR Interface)
- Editing Properties
- Checking Project Consistency
- Creating Associations
- Mapping Operations
- Generating the Service
- Service Maintenance
Prerequisites
To create a new service
based on the steps listed above, you require:
- A well-formed data model in an .edmx or .xml file, which you can import into the Service Builder to create your data model.
- A browser that can display the XML content provided by the service so you can consume the data.
