Service Life-Cycle

The service life-cycle encompasses everything in the life span of an OData service, from the activation and maintaining of the service, via the maintaining of models and services, up to the cleanup of the metadata cache. We recommend you use the Service Builder for your applications, but a purely programmatic approach is also possible.

• SAP Gateway Service Builder is the recommended tool for all aspects of service development.

• Activate and Maintain Servicesis the central transaction for service activation. It is also accessible via the Service Builder.

• Maintaining Models and Services

• Maintain Annotation Models

• Metadata Cache

• Soft State Based Query Result Cache
