How can we use a odata connection of datasphere to create datasets or models on sac?

fristly, we create a dataset with odata connection of datasphere but it only can choose a table or view of datasphere. As below:

secondly, if we use the api_url <https://.../api/v1/dwc/catalog/assets>, I suer that can't be connected on sac.

and we can get connection with <https://.../api/v1/dwc/catalog>, but we can't choose tables and views of datasphere, and we only can see space&assets

if we wanna use a odata connection to choose tables&views of datasphere, So how can we do for this?

Multiple entries in a Single table via OData service

2024-04-30T16:31:34.026000+02:00

Hi.

I tried to create a service in which we have to send more than one entry via OData service.

My project name is ZVBAP and I use VBAP table fields which are vbeln, posnr and matnr.

So by use of Create entity I can send the single entry to the Standard table but after many try I didn't get any solution to how to send more than one entry in Standard table.

Also I tried this in METHOD /iwbep/if_mgw_appl_srv_runtime~create_entity but still it doesn't run and it affects the Create entity service also.

Please help me to solve this.

Thanks in advance.

What is the use of %cid in RAP entity?

2024-04-30T16:36:21.019000+02:00

Hi all, I'm developing API based on RAP bo.

In batch request, there could be multi entities as import parameter in one changeset, and in RAP internal table, I see a field %cid. I thought it is content id which was provided in batch request body, but after I tried to set it, it was not shown in debugging.

I think this is the field to differentiate the entity with same key in batch. Please correct me if I was wrong.

Incentive Management OData APIs (Kubernetes) Questions

2024-04-30T21:25:09.301000+02:00

I have an application I'm working on that connects to the SAP Incentive Management OData APIs (Kubernetes) API. I'm bringing back the first 100 rows of the Incentive Management Pipelines.

In Postman, the first 2 PipelineRunSeq values are 20547673299878036 and 20547673299878035.

In my application, I have a TypeScript file that is supposed to retrieve the same 100 Pipelines. The first 2 PipelineRunSeq values are 20547673299878036 and 20547673299878036. The other values of the first item returned match the values of 20547673299878036 in Postman. The other values of the second item match the values of 20547673299878035 in Postman.

The next 5 rows from the response in the application have 20547673299878030 as the PipelineRunSeq but the other values match the values in Postman for 20547673299878034, 20547673299878033, 20547673299878032, 20547673299878031 & 20547673299878030.

I'm stumped as to why the PipelineRunSeq is being returned in this way from within the TS script.

Any ideas and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

get incident information on api odata API_EHS_REPORT_INCIDENT_SRV

2024-05-06T05:12:07.747000+02:00

Hello experts, I hope you're doing well.

I'm currently working with the odata API_EHS_REPORT_INCIDENT_SRV and I'm encountering issues retrieving certain data. For example:

Where in S/4 Hana public cloud can I check (similar to a table) all values for IncidentStatus? I would like to see a list, such as 001 = Open, 002 = Closed, and so on.
The fields seem to be custom fields (Description of Events and Immediate Actions), so I believe they should appear in the odata, but I couldn't find them. How can I retrieve this information from the API?

Question about sap fiori elements list report using odata v2 and odata v4

2024-05-06T09:41:18.798000+02:00

Hello experts, I have a question about building applications using the list report in SAP Fiori Elements with odata v2 and odata v4. When I create a project with odata v4, it does not create the CRUD structure automatically and neither the creation of the list nor the edit object page

So I decided to try with odata v2 and if the crud is created automatically but the page map stops working for some things like the creation of sections in the object header, the + does not appear to add one

The ones that are created are through annotations but I would like to use the page map the same as in odata v4 or, failing that, have odata v4 create the entire crud for me.

thanks for your help

Best regards,
Santiago Castano

Odata Service using BOBF - Property names

2024-05-07T18:11:36.240000+02:00

Hi All.

I have one DB table. Based on this table id created CDS. The name of the fields in CDS must be the same as in DB table, because from this CDS I've generated business object.

Business object is maintained and then created OData service.

But, name of the properties in this odata service strictly corresponds to the names of the fields in CDS.

But I need to use different names (using CamelCase without special characters, such as underscore and so on). I cannot use those names in CDS (using "as", because generating BO ends with error.

And annotation @odata.property.name is not taken into account.

Please, do You have any idea how to use other name of the property in ODATA service than is in DB table (CDS). Or could I use projection view ? Or do I need to create ODATA using SEGW (but there are limitations from SAP for using generated CREATE/UPDATE/DELETE operations).

Issue in retrieving Delta link in MAIF OData response in application/json format only

2024-05-08T10:25:42.336000+02:00

I exposed some database tables as entities using Mobile Application Integration Framework(MAIF). Here, server-side paging is enabled, and delta sync is on in MAIF. When I try to retrieve the data using application/XML format, server is sending the data along with delta token but When I change accept format to application/json, server is not sending delta link.

When retrieving data in XML format

When retrieving the data in JSON format

Is something needs to be done in MAIF side? it seems weird that it work in XML but not in JSON.

SAP S4HANA Billing Document OData - Pricing Elements No Data

2024-05-08T16:37:21.029000+02:00

Hi,

We've identified the following OData for our use case. We are on S/4HANA 2022 FPS 02.

Billing Document - Read, Cancel, GetPDF

However, this does not fetch the SD Pricing Data for a given billing document although it is documented in the API reference.

On further analysis, we found that the Pricing Elements CDS view that this OData uses does not display any data. The base view I_PricingElement that gets its data from prcd_elements has an access control that is designed to never return any data

@EndUserText.label: 'Auto assigned mapping role for I_PricingElement' 
@MappingRole: true 
define role I_PricingElement { 
  grant 
    select 
      on 
        I_PricingElement 
          where 
            PricingDocument is null and PricingDocument is not null; 
}

This is a whitelisted, documented API on the API hub that does not work as expected. Am I missing something?

Syniti RDG provides an effortless way to create Data Model extension.

2024-05-08T17:43:20.178000+02:00

Syniti Rapid Data Governance (RDG) is an SAP UI5 Cloud-based application that builds on SAP Business Technology Platform to automate MDG customizing and enhancement through standard APIs.  It provides an elegant UI and sensible logic to help users to perform all necessary tasks for a typical SAP MDG implementation.  It can also help to empower the business to maintain a deployed SAP MDG solution without the comprehensive technical background.

In SAP Master Data Governance data can be stored in a staging or active area. Extending the data model with custom attributes or tables involves changes to the data structures in both the active and staging areas and defining a mapping between these data structures.

Traditionally, a user must perform the following steps to assign to do this configuration in SAP MDG System.

Extending active area data model
Extending staging area data model
Generating MDG tables
Defining mapping from Staging to Active area
Defining mapping from Active to Staging area

RDG provides the solution to extend SMT Mapping with an intuitive, user-friendly, and graphical interface.

After a custom attribute is created and activated in either Business Partner or Material data models, an entity table for SMT mapping will be shown if applicable. (SMT mapping is not relevant for attributes created under all entities).

After custom attribute is created and activation is complete mapping table will be shown.
Complete the mapping table by selecting a mapping step and structure to extend for each row. Source and Target will automatically populate. Click at the end of each row.
Click Done. Processing may take some time to complete. Click Refresh when ready and receive success messages. If running the application using a cloud platform, additional notifications will be given to help you track the process.
Extension, transformation and mapping are created correctly

Syniti RDG is a certified SAP BTP solution on the SAP App Store.

Not able to locate sap:updatable or sap:creatable tags in metadata for SAP S/4HANA OData V4 APIs

2024-05-10T12:29:08.292000+02:00

Hi Team,

For any OData V4 APIs in SAP S/4HANA Cloud or On-premise, when we query for the $metadata for any service, we do not find these tags anymore: sap:creatable, sap:updatable, sap:delectable, etc to know if each entityset or field/property within an entity is supported for these operations or not.

Have we changed the mechanism to check this information on the compatibility?

Would be really helpful if someone in SAP S/4HANA product team can help us in answering this question since we are unable to know that which all fields supports what all operations within an entity by looking at the metadata which was pretty much clear in OData V2 APIs. @SAPSupport

Edit function not available in Fiori elements app object page generated from OData V4 - UI service

2024-05-13T13:57:32.676000+02:00

Hi Experts

I face the following problem during my first RAP implementation: I have created an OData V4 - UI service in the S4 backend based on CDS Entities (Root and child entities) and an unmanaged behaviour definition. In the behavior definition for the root entity there are the standrad actions delete and update are included, plus 3 custom actions. For the child entity create and delete is in the behavior def.

When I generate a Fiori Element List report application in the Business Application Studio, the Update button is not shown in the object page of the root entity and also the create and delete buttons for the child entities table (below the root entity object page) are also missing. If I generate the fiori app from an OData V2 - UI service, then these buttons are there and working correctly (the implementation in the backend is okay).

Maybe one important thing: I have set the "isActionCritical" annotation to one of my custom actions. Is this at fault?

Could you give me a hint, what am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks
