Create Odata service project programmatically.

Hello All,

Can we create Odata service by a custom program?

Please tell me if you came across such requirement and how did you achieve it.

Class-method name or other supporting ABAP objects will also be helpful.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

the Backend-Service seems to do exactly what you want.
However, it is not possible to extend the generated service with custom code
See here for a series of blogs and links to documentation

Kind Regards,
Carlos

It is not clear for me what you are looking for exactly.

OData development in SAP Backends is available for ages.

But I am not sure what you mean by "Can we create Odata service by a custom program?".

Best regards,

Andre

I want to create a custom program where I can create Odata service for standard CDS views. In short, I want to expose various standard cds views as an odata service on runtime. I am aware of standard API provided by SAP, Here I am talking about standard CDS views of basic type.

Thanks for your response, I hope this is clear.

I am looking for exposing a standard cds view as an odata service like we create a SEGW project and provide cds as a reference data. I want to do same activity by a custom program because in my case I want to do this on runtime.
