Steps to access the gateway service from one system to another system.

[Former Member]

Business Scenario

• The odata service is created in one system (ex: development system), and this service has to be accessed in other system (EX: sap gateway system)  .
• When the development system and the gateway service system are different this process is helpful.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Configuration on SAP NetWeaver Gateway System

This activity needs to be done in the system where software component IW_FND is installed

This Setting has to be done in the system where you have to access the odata service (in my case gateway system)

1. Manage RFC Destination

Create RFC Connection to the SAP Business Suite backend system.

• In transaction SPRO open the SAP Reference IMG and navigate to: SAP NetWeaver-> Gateway-> OData Channel -> Configuration -> Connection Settings-> SAP NetWeaver Gateway to SAP System-> Manage RFC Destinations -> and click the Activity icon.

2. Manage SAP System Aliases

• In transaction SPRO open the SAP Reference IMG and navigate to: SAP NetWeaver-> Gateway-> OData Channel -> Configuration -> Connection Settings -> SAP NetWeaver Gateway to SAP System-> Manage SAP System Aliases-> and click the Activity icon.
• Choose New Entries.
• Enter the following details for the system alias:

Field	Description
SAP System Alias	Name of the system alias, for example dev_001
Description	Descriptive text for the system alias.
Local GW	Leave unchecked if the Backend system is not on the same system as the SAP NetWeaver Gateway system.
For Local App	Check if IW_BEP add-on is deployed on the SAP NetWeaver Gateway hub system.
RFC Destination	Specify the RFC destination that you created in the step above.
WS Provider	Leave it blank.
Software Version	Choose Default.

• Save your settings.

Creating the service

1. Go to transaction /iwfnd/maint_service

2. Click on add service

3. Enter the system alias, Technical service name and version of a service.

· System alias which was created in spro.

· Technical service name – Enter the gateway service name which is present in other system

( ZLEAVELOGIN_SRV).

· Specify the version (in my case it is 1).

                         

After this you can use the service
