Step 10 Handler Class - No Service Definition created

--------------------------

I have on my SAP BTP the ABAP Free Trial and want it connected to my S/4 Hana Cloud. I am following the instructions and Step 10 where they had created the Service Consumption Model and it seems a Service Definition. It is in this Service Definition that we are meant to Retrieve Name of ZA_BusinessPartner_ Data Definition and put that into line 46 DATA(ls_bupa) = VALUE za_businesspartner_( ...

However when I create the ODATA Service Consumption Model from my EDMX that I have in my SAP_COM_0008 for Business Partner (A2X) it does not allow for changes to the artifact name or create the Service Definition. The Service Definition would be the key element that is missing - why does it not generate it ?

Hi Peter,

Bernhard is right: the tutorial is outdated. However, a successor tutorial is already available: Implement an Outbound Service Call in SAP BTP, ABAP environment for an OData Service via Service Con.... Can you have a look, please? I sketched the differences in my How to Call OData Service in SAP S/4HANA Cloud from SAP BTP, ABAP environment blog.I apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards
Kai

Hi Peter,

This tutorial is outdated. Sorry about that. We will update the tutorial.

Since 2311 we have changed the persistence of the OData SCM, see https://blogs.sap.com/2023/11/06/service-consumption-model-2-for-odata-client-proxy/

Could you follow the tutorial linked in the "Connecting to a Remote Service" section of the blog?

We create type definitions in the model class that your client can use.

Best regards
Bernhard
