In SAP Netweaver and OData Services, how can I add several entities (relationship data) in a single operation?

The background of today’s post: I had to update one of the entity sets with numerous entries in a single call (one header and multiple line items) while working on a Fiori PoC (Proof of Concept) for a customer. I attempted to use Create Operation on an entity set that contained many entries, but for some reason, only the first record was ever supplied to the model when the call was made. Once more, we must call the Create/edit Header operation first, followed by the Call Create/Update Items Operations call, if we wish to create or edit one header and several items.

Following some investigation, I discovered that SAP has the ability to perform these kinds of tasks in an OData Model. We refer to this as DEEP INSERT.

In order to update business data where there is a parent-child relationship and we want to create all relevant data in one call, we will learn how to define and call a DEEP INSERT operation in this exercise.

In my circumstance, I’m trying to assign multiple components to an ALM Order (SAP transaction IW31/32). extensively utilized for work orders. Therefore, in this case, the heading is an order operation and the items are components that are assigned to the order operation.

When you open an existing order in transaction IW32/33, select the Operations tab, and double click on it, you will be sent to the operation’s details page, where you can add components.

This talk aims to explain how to construct an operation in the data model that allows us to add numerous rows to an entity without requiring repeated calls to the CREATE/UPDATE procedures.

If you are unfamiliar with OData and SAP Netweaver Gateway, please see How to construct your first OData Service.

Using Services in my Proof of Concept

In my instance, the data model looks like this.

Notification of Services Order of Services The SR_ServiceOrder_Operation operationSR_ServiceOrder_ComponentSet is the navigation. (Reference: SR_SERVICEORDER_COMPONENTSET; Technical Name)SR_ServiceOrder_Component components

To get the technical name of the navigation that is marked in green above, take a snapshot of the DATA MODEL.

First, redefine the method “CREATE_DEEP_ENTITY” in the DPC Extension class of the backend OData service (IWBEP/IF_MGW_APPL_SRV_RUNTIME).

I hope you are familiar with CRUD functions. If not, look at OData’s CRUD Operations.

Initially, we must design a structure that precisely captures the XML representation of the data that the user interface will send.

The simple solution to determine the structure is as follows:

Gateway Client and conduct a $expand query on the header entity set.

Orderid=’4927185′,Activity=’0010′) in the SR_ServiceOrder_OperationSet (/sap/opu/odata/SAP/Z_SERVICE_REQUEST_SRV_03)?$expand=SR_ComponentSet_ServiceOrder

(In the example above, the item is the SR_ServiceOrder_ComponentSet entity set, and the header is the SR_ServiceOrder_OperationSet entity set. The data for the header entity set is located in the section with the key, (Orderid=’4927185′,Activity=’0010′).I hope that by now, everyone is aware of these. Guys, get moving! Part IX is where we are right now.

Now, in order to post data, we must call the POST method and modify the URI to point to the header. For the system to call the DEEP INSERT method, the updated URI from the user interface (frontend) should be as follows.

SAP Z Service Request SRV 03 Operation Set /sap/opu/odata/SAP/ServiceOrder_OperationSet

Please Note: Based on the URI, MODEL determines whether to call a DEEP INSERT method or a CREATE/UPDATE method. If MODEL discovers the $expand argument in the URI, it invokes the DEEP INSERT method; otherwise, it calls the standard CREATE/UPDATE action.Thus, it is imperative that the UI developer provide the URI in the correct manner.

There will be a response to this inquiry.This response can be used as a request, and a POST method can be executed.MODEL is aware that this,

The XML payload is obtained from the user interface (UI) using the importing parameter IO_DATA_PROVIDER in the class. A local structure that can house the data from the UI payload must be created.

We have established a structure called “zpm_sr_service_order_operation” with the following structure in response to my request.

The field that is highlighted and intended to contain multiple entries must have the same name as the navigation’s technical name.(In this case, one-level relationship data are being discussed. The same procedure must be used if multi-level relationship data is required.

Put the reasoning in the method itself: /IWBEP/IF_MGW_APPL_SRV_RUNTIME~CREATE_DEEP_ENTITY

DATA: BEGIN OF lw_data.
             INCLUDE TYPE zpm_sr_service_order_operation.
DATA: END   OF lw_data.

Please take note that the entity type of the operation (Header) in the preceding definition is represented by the Include type zpm_sr_service_order_operation, and the entity type of the components (Items) is represented by the table type zpm_sr_service_order_comp_tt. The field that would house the ITEM data—in our case, the components—should have the same name as the navigation, such as SR_ServiceOrder_ComponentSet.

TRY.
          io_data_provider->read_entry_data(
              IMPORTING
                   es_data                      = lw_data ).
          CATCH /iwbep/cx_mgw_tech_exception.    "
ENDTRY.

The code mentioned above will read the XML payload from the user interface, convert it, and then populate the lw_data local structure. The deep structure that we have already defined is the lw_data. If we dig deeper, we can create or post data in SAP by calling our own unique FM/BAPI.

The correct response data must be entered into the exporting parameter ER_DEEP_ENTITY once the BAPI/custom FM has completed the data posting. The local variable IW_DATA and the exporting parameter ER_DEEP_ENTITY will share the same structure. All we have to do is invoke the extension class’s standard method “COPY_DATA_TO_REF” like follows:

copy_data_to_ref(
         EXPORTING
                is_data = lw_data
         CHANGING
                cr_data = er_deep_entity ).

Note that the approach we are re-implementing is generic in nature and may be applied to a variety of DEEP INSERTs on various entity sets inside that service. As a result, we must write our code inside of an appropriate IV_ENTITY_SET_NAME check. Since the “SR_ServiceOrder_OperationSet” is the IV_ENTITY_SET_NAME in my scenario, all of my reasoning should fall into the check for this entity set.

The way this function handles exceptions is another crucial aspect. For informing the user of any errors on the user interface, the method provides two exceptions: /IWBEP/CX_MGW_BUSI_EXCEPTION & /IWBEP/CX_MGW_TECH_EXCEPTION. Use the appropriate exception class depending on whether it is a technical or business exception.

In my instance, because my API has built-in validations that allow it to return failure messages, I have handled it as

DATA:  ls_t100key TYPE scx_t100key.
ls_t100key-msgid = ls_return-id.
ls_t100key-msgno = ls_return-number.
ls_t100key-attr1 = ls_return-message.

*ls_return is the BAPI return structure

RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE /iwbep/cx_mgw_busi_exception
EXPORTING
textid = ls_t100key.

Step 2: UI development with the SAPUI5 viewpoint

Collect all of the input data that is needed to construct the data, then format the data using the entity set and navigation that the service maintains. If there are inconsistencies, XML cannot parse it. SAP has not disclosed any restrictions on the Deep Entity Create set. Here, we attempted to create a Deep Entity at level 4.

Data must be organized in the parent-child relationship manner as indicated below:

Root Element CreateData (1:1)

requestChildSO: CreateData’s offspring (1:1)

functioningChild: The one making the requestChildSO (1:n)

child: the kid involved in the operationChild (in 1:n)

level n

See Also: An ABAPer’s Challenge in Building Their First SAPUI5 App.

It has a depth of n levels. Thus, there are no restrictions. In a similar manner, CreateData will parse XML input that is needed for creation.
Here is the call model for creating data.Root Parent Entity set is called EntitySet.

Seamless Data Integration: Mastering Data Import in Salesforce

The post SAP Netweaver Gateway and OData. Section IX. How to Include Several Entities in a Single OData Service Operation first appeared on TECHNICAL GYAN GURU.

In the realm of SAP OData, efficient data manipulation is paramount. While standard entities provide a solid foundation, complex scenarios often demand a more nuanced approach. This is where deep entities come into play, offering a powerful mechanism for creating and managing hierarchical data structures within a single OData request.

Understanding the Need for Deep Entities

Imagine you’re building an Deep Entity in SAP OData service for a sales order management system. A typical sales order comprises a header with customer details, order items with product information, and potentially delivery schedules. Representing this data hierarchy using individual entity sets for headers, items, and schedules would necessitate multiple OData requests for creating or updating a complete sales order.

Deep entities streamline this process by encapsulating related entities within a single entity type. This eliminates the need for multiple requests, enhancing data persistence efficiency and simplifying client-side development.

Crafting Deep Entities in SAP OData Development

The SAP Gateway Service Builder empowers developers to leverage deep entities. Here’s a general roadmap for creating them:

1. Data Model Design: Define the main entity structure and establish navigation properties with appropriate data types referencing the child entity types.
2. Entity Set Creation: Generate entity sets for the main entity and its child entities within the service definition.
3. Deep Entity Implementation: Utilize ABAP classes to implement methods like GET_ENTITY and CREATE_ENTITY for the main entity. These methods handle data retrieval and creation, considering the nested child entities.
4. Association Handling: Define associations within the data model to specify the relationships between entities and navigation properties.

Benefits of Utilizing Deep Entity in SAP OData

• Simplified Data Persistence: Perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on a complete hierarchical structure in a single OData request.
• Enhanced Performance: Reduce network traffic and improve response times by eliminating the need for multiple requests.
• Streamlined Client Development: Clients interact with a single entity type, simplifying data manipulation logic.
• Improved Data Consistency: Maintain data integrity within the hierarchy by managing related entities simultaneously.

Considerations and Best Practices

• Complexity Management: Deep entities can become intricate, requiring careful design and thorough testing to ensure proper data handling.
• Security Implications: Grant appropriate access controls for nested entities to safeguard sensitive data.
• Performance Optimization: For large datasets, consider implementing efficient retrieval and update strategies within deep entity methods

What is the entity type in SAP OData?

In SAP OData, an entity type represents a structured data type that defines the schema of a set of entities in a service. Think of it as a blueprint or template for entities, where each entity is an instance of this type. Here’s a deeper look into what an entity type is and its significance:

Key Characteristics of an Entity Type

1. Properties: An entity type consists of properties that define the data it holds. Each property has a name and a type, such as string, integer, or date.
   • Primitive Properties: Basic data types like string, int, boolean, etc.
   • Complex Properties: Structured types composed of multiple properties.
2. Key Properties: These are properties that uniquely identify an entity instance. Each entity type must have at least one key property to distinguish individual entities.
3. Navigation Properties: These define associations between different entity types, enabling relationships like one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. They facilitate navigation between related entities.

Example of an Entity Type

Here’s a simple example of an entity type definition in an OData metadata document:

xml

<EntityType Name="Product">

<Key>

<PropertyRef Name="ProductID"/>

</Key>

<Property Name="ProductID" Type="Edm.Int32" Nullable="false"/>

<Property Name="ProductName" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false"/>

<Property Name="Price" Type="Edm.Decimal" Nullable="false"/>

<Property Name="ReleaseDate" Type="Edm.DateTimeOffset"/>

<NavigationProperty Name="Category" Relationship="Namespace.Product_Category" ToRole="Category" FromRole="Product"/>

</EntityType>

Conclusion

Deep Entity in SAP OData offer a powerful toolset within the SAP OData framework. By understanding their structure, development process, and benefits, you can unlock new levels of data persistence efficiency within your SAP applications. Remember to carefully evaluate your specific use case and follow best practices to ensure optimal performance and data integrity.

Creating Your First OData Service in SAP: A Step-by-Step Breakdown

Before we dive into the creation process, let’s solidify our understanding of the building blocks that make an OData service function.

Prerequisites: Gearing Up for OData Service Development

There are two essential prerequisites to get started with OData service development in SAP:

1. SAP Gateway Configuration: The SAP Gateway acts as the central communication hub for OData services. It ensures secure and standardized data exchange between your SAP system and external applications. If the SAP Gateway isn’t already configured in your system, you’ll need to involve your system administrator to set it up.
2. User Permissions: To create and manage OData services, you’ll need specific authorization within SAP. User roles like SAP_BC_SRV_ODATA_ADMIN or SAP_BC_SRV_ODATA_DEVELOPER grant the necessary permissions for working with OData services.

Once you’ve confirmed these prerequisites are in place, we can move on to the exciting part: creating your first OData service!

Testing and Deployment: Putting Your OData Service to the Test

Crafting a robust OData service is just one piece of the puzzle. The next crucial step is ensuring it functions as intended and delivers data accurately. Here’s how we’ll put your OData service through its paces:

Testing OData Services with SAP Gateway Client

The SAP Gateway Client serves as your trusted companion for testing OData services. It allows you to interact with your service directly, simulating how external applications would access the data. Here’s how to leverage the SAP Gateway Client for testing:

1. Accessing the SAP Gateway Client: Launch the SAP Gateway Client using transaction code /IWFND/GW_CLIENT. This interface displays a list of all registered OData services within your SAP system.
2. Exploring Your OData Service: Select your newly created OData service from the list. The client displays details like available entity sets and their properties. You can then interact with these entities using various functionalities:
   • Retrieve Data: Utilize the built-in filters and selection options to retrieve specific data subsets based on your needs. The client displays the retrieved data in a user-friendly format.
   • Test CRUD Operations (Optional): If your service allows creation, update, and deletion of data (CRUD operations), you can leverage the client to test these functionalities as well. Be mindful that modifying data through the client directly might have implications on your production environment, so proceed with caution in this case.

By thoroughly testing your OData service within the SAP Gateway Client, you can identify and rectify any potential issues before deployment.

Security Considerations: Safeguarding Your Data

Security is paramount when exposing data through OData services. Here’s how to ensure your service adheres to best practices:

1. User Authentication: Implement a robust user authentication mechanism to restrict access to your OData service. SAP offers various authentication options like Basic Authentication or Single Sign-On (SSO) to verify user identities before granting access.
2. Authorization: Even with user authentication in place, it’s crucial to define authorization rules that dictate what data each user can access within your OData service. This ensures that users only have visibility to data relevant to their roles and responsibilities.

Advanced OData Service Development: Expanding Your Horizons

The foundation for creating basic OData services is now firmly established. However, SAP’s OData capabilities extend far beyond simple data retrieval. Let’s explore some advanced functionalities that can further empower your OData services:

Implementing Function Imports: Custom Logic at Your Fingertips

Function imports allow you to expose custom ABAP logic through your OData service. This enables external applications to trigger specific actions within your SAP system, not just retrieve data. Here’s how function imports work:

1. Defining Function Imports: Within your OData service definition, you can create function imports. These functions map to custom ABAP classes containing the desired logic. You can define parameters for the function import, allowing external applications to pass in specific data for processing.
2. Benefits and Use Cases: Function imports offer a powerful way to extend the functionality of your OData service. Imagine an OData service exposing a function import to initiate a credit check process within SAP based on customer data received from an external application. This demonstrates the ability to trigger complex business logic through your OData service.

Function imports empower you to create truly interactive OData services that not only provide data but also orchestrate actions within your SAP system.

Actions on Entity Sets: CRUD Operations on Steroids

While basic OData services often focus on data retrieval, actions on entity sets allow you to implement Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) functionalities directly on your OData service. This enables external applications to not only read data but also modify it within your SAP system.

1. Defining Actions: Similar to function imports, you can define actions within your OData service that correspond to specific CRUD operations on a particular entity set. These actions leverage ABAP code to perform the desired data manipulation within your SAP system.
2. Security Considerations: Opening up CRUD operations through your OData service necessitates heightened security measures. Ensure proper authorization rules are in place to restrict which users or applications can perform these actions and on what data. Additionally, robust data validation within your ABAP code is crucial to prevent erroneous data from entering your SAP system.

FAQ

Throughout this guide, we’ve delved into the exciting world of creating and implementing OData services in SAP. Now, let’s address some frequently asked questions that might arise on your OData service development journey:
