OData Service Development and Integration with SAP Gateway

Course Category : Administrative Development

A specialised programme for designing and managing OData services with SAP Gateway, covering data modelling, service logic, integration, testing, security, and enterprise service reliability.
Duration: 5 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Standardised data services form a critical architectural layer within modern SAP environments, where effective integration between backend systems and digital interfaces depends on well-designed, manageable, and secure service interfaces. SAP Gateway provides a structured mechanism for exposing SAP business data and functionality through OData services for SAP Fiori and other enterprise consumers.

This course examines OData service architecture, entity and relationship modelling, service creation with SAP Gateway Service Builder, implementation of read and modification operations, service registration and activation, testing, troubleshooting, security, and performance considerations. It develops the technical judgement required to design reliable OData services for complex enterprise SAP landscapes..
