Avoiding namespace in action call on ABAP RAP

[friendlycoder]

Dear all,

To call an action in ABAP RAP the namespace has to be provided, for example:

/StatisticalKeyFigureHead('29999')/com.sap.gateway.srvd_a2x.ycust_api_skf.v0001.reverse

This is an action that calls the reverse action on StatisticalKeyFigureHead entity. Is there a way to get rid of namespace com.sap.gateway.srvd_a2x.ycust_api_skf.v0001 in the URL?

Best regards,

[junwu]

I don't think you can do that.

Dear @Andre_Fischer,
Could you please confirm?

The name of the action / function can't be changed as such because those names are specified in the OData spec. 

It is however possible to use the alias "SAP__self" that has been set by the SAP Gateway framework for you.

When you check the $metadata document of your OData service you will find something like this:

<edmx:DataServices>   

<Schema Namespace="com.sap.gateway.srvd.dmo.ui_travel_d_d.v0001" Alias="SAP__self">

But you can't influence the name of that alias.

Kind regards, 

Andre
