Basic URIs
The service root URI for the launchpad service contains the server, port and service name, for example as follows:
URL: http://<server>:<port>/sap/opu/odata/UI2/LAUNCHPAD/
The URI above is used in all examples in this section of the documentation. To reproduce the examples in the documentation, you have to replace <server> and <port> by the server and port of your SAP Gateway system.
For more information on how to find out your root service URI, see Displaying the Service Definition XML.
You get the service document by adding the URL parameter ?$format=xml to the service root URI.
URL: http://<server>:<port>/sap/opu/odata/UI2/LAUNCHPAD/?$format=xml
To get the metadata document, add $metadata to the service root URI.
URL: http://<server>:<port>/sap/opu/odata/UI2/LAUNCHPAD/$metadata
For your convenience, if you add the URL parameter sap-ds-debug=true, the hrefs in the document are displayed as links. This allows you to easily navigate in the document structure.
URL: http://<server>:<port>/sap/opu/odata/UI2/LAUNCHPAD/?$format=xml&sap-ds-debug=true
