Steps to Create an ODATA service for a BW Query

Created by Giselle Lin, last modified on Mar 16, 2017

From Netweaver 740SP06 on, it is possible to use native OData service to release an easy query. The steps are simpler than using Light Weight Consumption By Easy Query (See what
features are supported for Easy Query here).

1. Create a simple query in Query Designer (or Modeling Tool), switch on the flag 'By OData' for Light Weight Consumption setting. The OData service is generated automatically
after saving the query. The naming convention for the generated service name is <query technical name>_SRV

4. Click the Technical Service Name to add it. The technical Service Name is default to Z<query name>_SRV.

After confirm a few popup boxes, the service is added successfully.

5. Click 'Back (F3)' button to get back to the main screen of /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE, now GL_ODATA1_SRV is available in the service catalog. You could set filter to the service
name to find it more easily.

6. Double click the service, you will see the ICF node is in green status. Now click 'SAP Gateway Client', you can consume this OData service to access the query information.

7. By default, the service is called with parameter '?$format=xml', the full URI is: /sap/opu/odata/sap/<query name>_SRV/?$format=xml

Here we can see, with parameter 'GL_ODATA1Results' we can access the data in the query result.
