Publishing ODATA v4 service in a customizing client

[RajatArora]

This blog-tutorial will guide you through the process of publishing OData v4 service in a customizing client.

Problem:

Publishing local service endpoint of service binding 'XXXXX' has encountered a problem

This problem usually occurs if you are working in a customizing client and the settings for the client in section "Changes and transports for client specific objects" are set to one of the options

1. "Automatic recording of changes" or
2. "No changes allowed"

This can be checked using SCC4 transaction

This blog mainly focuses on publishing v4 service created based on RAP BO using ADT (eclipse) but can also be referred for publishing any v4 service.

Solution:

Activate the service binding post RAP BO creation using ADT (this will create a service group)

Go to /N/IWFND/V4_ADMIN

Click on 'Publish Service Groups'

Select system alias and click on 'Get Service Groups'

Select the group ID corresponding to the OData service and click on 'Publish Service Groups

Update description and click on continue

Select a customizing request or create a new one and continue

Service group has been published

Once published, service group will be visible under service groups on v4 admin

Now, go back to eclipse and refresh (F5) the service binding. Voila! Now, the service has been published, and the entity set and service URL will be visible

Thanks for going through the blog and now you will be able to publish any v4 service. 😀
