Hi,

in SP3 massive enhancements to the underlying OData library were done. You can see the documentation of the delta here:

[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_gateway20sp03/helpdata/en/ad/ff9a1da7aa4ddbab594ff2f13d09db/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_gateway20sp03/helpdata/en/ad/ff9a1da7aa4ddbab594ff2f13d09db/frameset.htm]

To ensure the 'old' solutions still run, we branched the access in the SICF and documented this with ODATA and SDATA.

Hope this helps,

Hi Maremanda,

i am also working on Odata.

I successfully done the PUT method using ODATA.But i am unable to perform POST method.

as you said, SDATA is used for POST operation.Do you have any documents for how to use SDATA for POST method.

Any help is appreciated..

Suhas.
