Using odata service in freestyle app in Business Application Studio

[jeffrey_towell2]

Previously I created a free style app project in BAS using the "SAP Fiori Freestyle Project" template however it is now flagged as deprecated.

I am therefore using the "SAP Fiori application" template and using the "application type" freestyle.

The issue is that I used to be able to use the Northwind service as a data source which I have configured as a destination as follows:

With the old template I could pull in this destination in the project creation wizard as follows:

Using the new template it always gives an error when trying to retrieve the service:

Of course Northwind is not a SAP system but "Connect to an SAP System" is the only Data source that allows me to see "Northwind" as an option under "System".

Does anyone know how I can use this Northwind destination in the new template creation option?

Hi abheejat

For the OData URL option in BAS, only publicly accessible URL could be accepted. For example, i.e. https://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/

It sound like you have already defined a destination to the on-prem system. In this case, could you try using "Connect to an SAP System"? The destination should be available following this approach.

Thanks.

Hi tashley

Currently we are evaluating BAS in a trial subaccount (lets call it subaccount A). But our cloud connector is connected to a different subaccount (B) from a different Global Account.

In this case can we access the destinations belonging to Subaccount 'B' from BAS in subaccount 'A' ?

Thanks, appreciate your help on this.

Hi tashley

Like you mentioned, adding it via URL works.

Adding to your second point, even though the service is added as an destination, "Connect to SAP System" approach doesn't work. I guess like mariusobert mentioned Northwind service is not considered an SAP system.
