Updated How To Guides

Posted by Jeff Gebo Aug 1, 2012

Hi All,

I just finished updating the How To Guides for the three types of generated services (RFC, BOR, and Screen Scraping). The updated guides cover SP3 and SP4 functionality. It is important to note that new generator functionality will be coming out in SP5 and will be integrated in the Gateway Service Builder transaction - SEGW (first introduced in SP4). That said, the old generators will still be available and is what these updated how to guides cover.

Here are the links the guides:

RFC Generator - http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-5010

BOR Generator - http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-5009

Screen Scraping Generator - http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-5008

Let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions.

Thanks!

Simple How To Guide on the OData Channel API has been updated

Posted by Jeff Gebo Jul 25, 2012

Hi All,

just an FYI - I finally got around to updating the the simple how to guide on the OData Channel API for SP3+...it used to be based on the old SP2 stuff, the following is a list of new features covered in the update H2G:

shows how to add and activite the service on the Gateway using transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
shows how to test the service using the FireFox RESTClient plugin - shows how to obtain and use the CSRF token which is required for executing the create and update services
shows how to use the sap-ds-debug=true query string parameter...this is a very helpful feature when it comes to testing!

Anyway, you can find the updated How To Guide here: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-10466

Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers,

Jeff

Gateway Service Builder (SEGW) with a focus on DDIC Importer

Posted by Jeff Gebo Jul 13, 2012

SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 SP4 contained the first release of the Gateway Service Builder transaction - SEGW. This transaction will grow going forward. Today you can create service with it by importing DDIC structures or EDMX models, or you can define them by hand. I wanted to create some simple videos to that show this new transaction. The first of these is focusing on the DDIC importer, you can watch it on youtube here:

Let me know what you think about this new transaction - SEGW.

Thanks!
