ABAP Developer Tools (ADT): Can't create HTTP Service from Eclipse

[Gunter]

Hi experts,

I was trying to do the SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment & ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model - Exercise 1 but didn't get much far. My ADT didn't allow me to create an "HTTP Service" from Eclipse. I use the latest ADT version (3.12.2) first with Eclipse 2019-06 now with a fresh install of Eclipse 2020-06.

The problem is, that the HTTP Service will be called in the GUI - you can see that the description field is gray:

When I click finish, then I see that:

Oh, really? That's why I did it from Eclipse. 🙂

Any idea what the problem could be? Backend system is S/4HANA1909FP02 (I tried 2 different instances with same result). It seems that in Eclipse HTTP Services are linked to the GUI and not to the Eclipse UI. Maybe there's a config-file to be tweaked to correct the linking?

Thanks,

Gunter

I'm also facing same issue, I could not figure out a solution yet, but in debugging I could see its looking for an entry in table UCONFILLCUST (Unified Connectivity Customization related table); I've attached a screen shot of debugging where its throwing the same error you reported, Its may be related to permission to create HTTP Service from Eclipse, when I played with the values in debugging, I was able to by-pass the error and was able to create HTTPService from Eclipse.

Alternatively, have you tried transaction SICF(HTTP Service Hierarchy Maintenance) to create HTTPService?

I could not find a tcode or table maintenance for UCONFILLCUST. I'm using Eclipse 2020-06 & S/4HANA 1909 on-prem.

Thanks

Hi Kartik,

thank you indeed for that useful comment. I'll look into it tomorrow as I'm traveling now. It might be worth checking if that's a bug or a feature. I'll keep you updated.

I got an update from our experts: The HTTP Service is currently only available for SAP Cloud Platform ABAP on Cloud (aka: "Steampunk"). Therefore it is not possible (yet) to automatically create an HTTP service from ADT IDE.

It is possible - however - to create it manually in SICF and then create the handler-class with the ADT. In that case - at least to my knowledge - you need to use I/F IF_HTTP_EXTENSION in contrast to IF_HTTP_SERVICE_EXTENSION as was shown in the video (for ABAP on Cloud). Hope this helps, I was able to achieve my setup in that way.
