It never occurred to me that it would be easier to create something than to kill it, until I was asked to DELETE an OData service from the Service Catalog (t-code /n/iwfnd/maint service).
Proceed to your Part II if you haven’t yet created your first OData Service.Start by establishing an OData service.
My initial action was to look for the Delete button. I also discovered one, as seen below. I immediately hit the Delete Service option and then the Yes button. However, a pop-up message stating “Delete ICF Node first” then appeared.
Alright, it makes sense. It states that the ICF Node must be removed first.
So I followed the directions. After choosing the ICF Node, press the Delete button. After requesting a transfer, it once more displayed the error notice “Object directory entry cannot be deleted, the object is locked” when I clicked OK.
Until this point, I had not thought of posting any article on How to Delete an OData Service? But the I was confused by the message “the object is locked.” I eventually discovered that there are three steps involved in deleting a service.
Take out the System Alias.
Remove the ICF Node
Take the Service down.
First, take out the service’s system alias.
You may learn more about System Alias here if you’re unsure about how to set it up or what it means.
Following the removal of the Alias, it would seem as follows.
Step 2: Remove the associated Service’s ICF Node.
The status would become non-green, meaning that the service is initial and not operational.
The last step is to delete the service.
Hooray! We were able to remove our initial service from the Service Catalog at last.
For a thorough understanding, review every section in the SAP Netweaver Gateway and OData Service Tutorial.
It looked like this topic would be too easy to publish. We disagreed about whether this piece was suitable for our readers. However, in the end, we came to the conclusion that if someone is having trouble deleting a service and they come across our post, they will save a few valuable minutes.Thus, here we are. It is operational and could be useful to someone in this small SAP world.
