Hi everyone,

Below example shows how to pass multiple nested tables as input to odata/gateway service using SEGW approach.

We have  6 tables.


1.      Header (Fields: ID, Name, Message_text)

    • Item1 (Fields: ID, Name1, Address)
      • Item 1.1 (Fields: ID, Name, State, Country)
      • Item 1.2 (Fields: Fname, Mname, LName)
    • Item2 (Fields: ID, Name, City)
      • Item2.1 (Fields: ID,Name,Pincode,Street)


Item1 and item2 are inline to Header table.

Item1.1 and item 1.2 are inline to item1 table.

Item 2.1 is inline to item 2 table

In multi deep insert, we should be able to pass multiple line items in item1 , item 1.1 , item 1.2, item 2 and  item2.1 along with the data in header structure.

  1. e.g.

Input to the service:

   


Output from the service:



Value of Message_text in header structure is changed to
Test1.


Steps to achieve the above scenario:

Step1. Create 6 entity types Header, Item1 and item2,Item1_1,Item1_2,Item2_1.

                  

     

Properties are:

Header:

Item1:

Item1_1:

Item1_2:

Item2:

Item2_1:

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Step2. Create entity sets HeaderSet, item1Set, item2Set,item1_1Set,item1_2Set,item2_1Set.

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Step3: Create Associations between entity types:


1. Header – item1

2. Header – item2

3. Item1--Item1.1

4. Item1--item1.2

5. Item2--Item2.1

      

Navigation properties get created automatically under entity type: header , Item1 and Item2

       

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Step4: Save and Check for any error.

Step5: Generate Runtime classes and Services

Step6: Register Service in gateway hub.

Step7: Go to DPC_Ext class in ABAP Workbench.

Step8: Redefine method /IWBEP/IF_MGW_APPL_SRV_RUNTIME~GET_EXPANDED_ENTITYSET –

This method is redefined to get Request payload of Multi deep insert.

Step9: Inside GET_EXPANDED_ENTITYSET,

ITEM1TOITEM1_1 and ITEM1TOITEM1_2 are names of navigation properties for table item1


ITEM2TOITEM2_1 IS navigation property for table item2


HEADERITEM1 and HEADERITEM2 are navigation properties for table header

Insert data in the Structures.

Add 3 entries in table et_expanded_tech_clause to specify to framework that there are  inline entities to the base entity(values to be inserted are Navigation properties).(Absence of this code will hit the get_expanded_entityset method 6 times for all the entities created.


Insert data in the respective structures and tables(header,item1 and item2,item1.1,item1.2,item2.1) and Append that data in the final


Save and Activate.

Step 10: Form the URL.

HTTP method : GET

Execute (F8).

******************************************************************************************************************************************************

Step11: Use the response from the above request to create request payload of Multi Deep Insert.

(Remove feed tag below first line and end feed tag)

Step12: Once Request payload is generated, redefine method /IWBEP/IF_MGW_APPL_SRV_RUNTIME~CREATE_DEEP_ENTITY

Inside /IWBEP/IF_MGW_APPL_SRV_RUNTIME~CREATE_DEEP_ENTITY,

Declare the output structure.

Read the data sent by the user through request payload into structure ls_headeritem.

Change the message_text of Header structure .

ls_headeritem-message_text = 'Test1'.

Call Copy_data_to_ref and pass ls_header_item as structure.

Step 13: Form the URL.

URL:

/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZGW_CREATEDEEP_66883_SRV/headerSet


Method: POST.

Execute (F8).

This way we can implement such scenarios.

Thanks,

Anjor Wagle.
