Easily Importing Data Model from File in SAP Net Weaver Gateway

0
0

Design Data Model

Perquisites:

Should use any deployment either Hub or Embedded. In this Blog I'm Using Embedded deployment.

 

Core Components (SAP Net Weaver Stack):

 

SAP Net Weaver 7.0 and 7.01


  • GW_CORE 190
  • IW_FND 240


SAP Net Weaver 7.02, 7.03, and 7.31


  • GW_CORE 200
  • IW_FND 250


SAP Net Weaver 7.40 and higher


  • SAP_GWFND 740: SAP Net Weaver Gateway Foundation 7.40

 

Create a Project:


In Order to work with Net weaver gateway building O Data Services, one should have a basic knowledge of ABAP & OOABAP.


Creating a project is simple, we can go and create a project in service builder (SEGW) in back end system.

Enter the details as shown in below.

Click on enter, Now project is created successfully.


Creating data model:


Now it’s time to create a data model as per the requirement. So here I'm creating the data model to importing Data Model from File.SAP Net Weaver Gateway provides many useful generator tools which allow you to develop services around RFCs, BAPIs, Dnipro screens, etc.


               Importing Data Model from file is the one of the option for to copy a particular gateway service from one server to another server, the most time consuming part is to copy the data model manually by creating all the entities, entity sets, associations and navigation paths. Now to overcome this big trouble, there is a better way given by SAP. There is an option called “Data Model from File”.


The File Import function is developed to allow importing of the data model files defined by external model editors like Visual Studio (edmx files) and the metadata files types (xml) into the Service Builder to create a data model. The files can be imported into the Service builder for the following Project Types:

 

                    1) Service with SAP Annotations

                    2) Service with Vocabulary-Based Annotations

Importing a Data Model - New and Empty Project


Right click on the Start of the Navigation pathData Model---> Import ---> Data Model from File


3.png


Import data using "Data Model from File" option SAP provide two options (i.e. Custom Import and Full Import).


Custom Import: To import a metadata/edmx file for an existing project, which already has a data model created (re-import). In this case, the existing data model is overwritten.


Full Import: To import a metadata/edmx file for a new project. In instances where you create a project and import a file.


In my case I'm "Importing a Data Model - New and Empty Project", so that’s the reason Custom Import Option is greyed out. Shown below screen shot.

Select Full Import to overwrite the existing model. Follow the steps in the previous section "Importing a Data Model - New and Empty Project" to complete the full import.


4.png

Browse to select an xml or edmx file and click next.

5.png

6.png

Click Next you will see the Entity Types and Entity Sets as shown below.

7.png

8.png

Click on finish, go and check the model was created successfully and automatically corresponding Entity Types, Entity sets, Associations and Navigation Properties will be created. As shown below.

9.png

After creating the data model click on generate button over the top (Tool bar) as shown below.

10.png

Run time classes are generated successfully as shown in below.

11.png

Importing a Model File - Existing Project


Right click on the Start of the navigation pathData Model---> Import ---> Data Model from File

3.png

Select Custom Import to select the objects manually from the model.

19.png

Click Browse to select and import an xml or edmx file and click next.

20.png

The Wizard Step 2 of 3: File Import window appears and displays the following status for the Artifacts.


1.New:

If the imported file contains an artifact that is not present in the Data Model, then that artifact is displayed with the Status New. On selecting that artifact, a new entry is created in the Data model.

21.png

2.Delete:

If the file does not contain the artifact that exits in the data model, then it displays Delete status. If you select the artifact, it is deleted from the data model. If this option is not selected, then data model remain unchanged.

22.png

3.Edit:

If an artifact is available in both the file and in the Data Model, but if the one in file (file that is being imported) has some changes, then these artifacts have the status changed. You can choose to adapt the file changes in the data model. If this option is not selected, then the artifact in the data model remain unchanged.


25.png


4.Equal:

If an artifact exist in both Data Model and in the file and if it is equal, then the artifact is disabled for selection. These artifacts are displayed with the Status Equal.

23.png

After select the Entity Types and Entity Sets then click on Next and then Click on finish, go and check the model was created successfully and automatically corresponding Entity Types, Entity sets, Associations and Navigation Properties will be created. As shown below.

24.png

Now you can redefine your methods write your own logic in the *DPC_EXT class. By using Import Data from file you can easily design model from existing model.

SSO problem with the SAP Gateway Client /IWFND/GW_CLIENT

0
0

Since I ran into the same problem two times this week I thought it would be a good idea to post the solution in a small blog ...

 

When configuring a demo system for SAP Gateway I tried to test an OData service using the SAP Gateway client /IWFND/GW_CLIENT and got the following error message:

 

HTTP Send failed:  

HTTPIO_ERROR_CUSTOM_MYSAPSSO~Fehlermeldung beim

Senden der Daten.

 

HTTPIO_ERROR_CUSTOM_MYSAPSSO.PNG

 

 

Since Single Sign-On is one of the key features of the SAP Gateway Client such an error message is quite annoying.

 

First possible root cause

 

The reason was that the following instance profile parameters were not set correctly.

 

login/accept_sso2_ticket

login/create_sso2_ticket

 

The correct values are (as mentioned in the Online Help Profile Parameters - SAP Gateway Foundation (SAP_GWFND) - SAP Library )

 

login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1

login/create_sso2_ticket = 2

 

So always read our documentation carefully .

 

To test the settings without maintaining the instance profile you can use transaction RZ11.

 

rz11.PNG

 

Press the Display button and the following window opens:

 

rz11_2.#PNG.PNG

 

Here you can choose the Change Value button that lets you change the parameter value immediately (but not permanently) so that I was able to proceed with my testing.

 

Second possible root cause

 

The same error also occurred in a second system but here the SSO problem did not vanish after changing the profile parameters mentioned above.

 

The error was more basic here since the certificates in that demo system were not valid anymore.

 

Looking into STRUST showed that something was wrong with the certificates.

 

An error that should hopefully not occur to often ;-).

How to implement multi-level create deep

0
0

This blog will explain how to implement multi-level create deep.

 

Prerequisite, please make sure you are familiar with create deep implementation via Gateway:

Step by Step development for CREATE_DEEP_ENTITY operation

 

 

For multi-level create deep, we assume this following scenario:

Scenario.PNG

 

Here, FirstSon & SecondSon are the first-level deep of father, FirstGrandSon is the first-level of FirstSon but second-level of Father.

 

Then How to implement this create-deep scenario?

 

 

1. Create entities/associations in SEGW which map to this relationship.

     Four entities are created: Father/FirstSon/SecondSon/FirstGrandson; Each entity has three properties: Key/Property1/Property2

     Three associations are created: "Father to FirstSon" & "Father to SecondSon" & "FirstSon to FirstGrandSon"

Data Model.PNG

 

2. Generate and register the ODate Service.

     I assume you are familiar with these general Gateway steps .

 

3. Implement  create_deep_entity method.

     First create the multi-level deep structure which can holds the nested data from input; Then use  io_data_provider to get the input.

     Here I just write simple code snippet, as long as we can get nested data in the runtime.

Code.PNG

 

4. Test in RestClient

     I used to try to test the multi-level create deep in our traditional GW client and using XML format as payload. Nested data can be transferred into our create_deep_entity method, but the position of the nested data in second level is wrong. Thus, I strongly suggested to use JSON format as payload. Since our GW Client doesn't have a good support json fromat. I recommend to use the RestClient. (In RestClient you have to first get CSRF token and then post)

    

Payload:

 

{

    "Key": "Father-Key",

    "Property1": "Father-Property-1",

    "Property2": "Father-Property-2",

    "FirstSon": [

        {

            "Key": "FirstSon-Key-1",

            "Property1": "Firstson-Property-1",

            "Property2": "Firstson-Property-2",

            "FirstGrandson": [

                {

                    "Key": "GrandSon-Key-1",

                    "Property1": "GrandSon-Property-1",

                    "Property2": "GrandSon-Property-2"

                }

            ]

        },

        {

            "Key": "FirstSon-Key-2",

            "Property1": "Firstson-Property-3",

            "Property2": "Firstson-Property-4",

            "FirstGrandson": [

                {

                    "Key": "GrandSon-Key-2",

                    "Property1": "GrandSon-Property-3",

                    "Property2": "GrandSon-Property-4"

                },

                {

                    "Key": "GrandSon-Key-3",

                    "Property1": "GrandSon-Property-5",

                    "Property2": "GrandSon-Property-6"

                }

            ]

        }

    ],

    "SecondSon": [

        {

            "Key": "SecondSon-Key-1",

            "Property1": "SecondSon-Property-1",

            "Property2": "SecondSon-Property-2"

        },

        {

            "Key": "SecondSon-Key-2",

            "Property1": "SecondSon-Property-3",

            "Property2": "SecondSon-Property-4"

        },

        {

            "Key": "SecondSon-Key-3",

            "Property1": "SecondSon-Property-5",

            "Property2": "SecondSon-Property-6"

        }

    ]

}

 

 

5. Check if the multi-level nested data is mapping to the right position in our runtime.

   

Father-level data:

Father.PNG

 

Son-level data (deep to father):

FirstSon.PNGSecond.PNG

 

Grandson-level data (deep to FirstSon):

     FirstSon[1] has one entry; FristSon[2] has two entry; as payload expected.

Grandson1.PNGGrandson2.PNG

 

Now we get the multi-level nested data in the right position, then we can do anything we want in following .



Hope it helps!

How to do the data mining on the Gateway statistics using CDS view and AMDP?

0
0

Recently i got a very interesting requirement from management team to do a POC based on the Gateway statistics to address the following business questions.

 

  1. What are the Top 10 apps accessed within a certain period ?
  2. Who are the top 10 users within a certain period?
  3. Which hour of the day do the most users access ?
  4. Which week day of the week do the most users access?
  5. What are the most search criteria for all the services ?
  6. According to the functions defined in the app, we could also know that how many times of the business functions are executed?
  7. What are the average response time and maximum payload of the http requests?


i did some research on this topic and would like to share it within this community.

          association[0..1] to /iwfnd/i_med_srt as srt

          on srh.srv_identifier = srt.srv_identifier and

             srh.is_active = srt.is_active

{

    srh.service_name,

    srt.description

}

where

   srt.language = 'E' and

   srt.is_active = 'A'

 

CDS View 2

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'V_CDS_STATS'

define view cdsv_stats_basic

( namespace, service_name, userid, timestampl, service_description, operation, entity_type, expand_string, request_address )

as select from /iwfnd/su_stats as stats

  association[1..1] to v_cds_serv  as service on

Problems with multi-origin in SAP NetWeaver 740 SP13 ... and how to solve them

0
0

Today I came accross a problem that can occur if you use the multi origin feature of SAP Gateway and if you have upgraded to SAP NetWeaver 740 SP13.

 

Strictly speaking it would also occur if you have upgraded solely the software component SAP_GWFND to the Support Package Level SAPK-74013INSAPGWFND.

 

A request such as /sap/opu/odata/sap/gbapp_poapproval;mo/WorkflowTaskCollection in this case does not return any data.

 

On the other hand $count would still return a result when running the following request in the SAP Gateway Client /sap/opu/odata/sap/gbapp_poapproval;mo/WorkflowTaskCollection/$count.


As a result of this strange behavior SAP Fiori applications such as the MyInbox would not work correctly.

 

Fortunately there is a solution .

 

Simply apply SAP Note 2250491 - OData request does not return entity set data in case of multi-origin composition to your system.

 

Best regards,

Andre

How to show file name when calling GET_STREAM

0
0

This document is about how to enhancement our OData service  - Download File.


Currently base on training material, we usually redefine GET_STREAM method and pass mime type and stream value to the result.

ls_stream-mime_type = output-return-MIME_TYPE .
ls_stream
-value= output-return-DOCUMENT_STREAM .
copy_data_to_ref
( EXPORTING is_data = ls_stream
CHANGING  cr_data = er_stream ).

This works, however the problem is if you trigger the service in Chrome. You can only get a document with named ‘entity’.

 

1.png

Problem

  • What if customer has already stored file name in ECM or in Database? They want to see the real name.
  • What if customer don't want to direct download, they may want to review the file before download.

Solution

Solution to this is to set a header to http framework. I attached code below.

DATA ls_lheader TYPE ihttpnvp.
"DATA lv_filename TYPE string.
"lv_filename = escape( val = lv_filename format = cl_abap_format=>e_url ).
ls_lheader
-name = 'Content-Disposition'.
ls_lheader
-value= 'outline; filename="Mobile.pdf";'.
set_header
( is_header = ls_lheader ).

ls_stream
-mime_type = output-return-MIME_TYPE .
ls_stream
-value = output-return-DOCUMENT_STREAM .
copy_data_to_ref
( EXPORTING is_data = ls_stream
CHANGING  cr_data = er_stream ).

Let’s test the result now:

2.PNG

If customer want to preview the document instead of directly download, please change code as below.

ls_lheader-value= 'inline; filename="Mobile.pdf";'.

Let’s test the result:

A new page was opened for preview, you can right click and choose to save. File name ‘Mobile.pdf’ comes up.

How to configure Fiori News App by using SICF service and RSS2.0

0
0

This document is written to shown step by step guide to configure news app in Fiori. In all, there are three steps:

  1. Configure Fiori title
  2. Create Table to store news information
  3. Generate SICF service and provide RSS 2.0 format

 

Step one: Configure Fiori title

Click on News Tile

1.png

Fill in SICF service name in the Feed, Article Refresh Interval means the refresh interval of news apps. Prefer to set to 15min.

SICF service name: znews (which will later be created)

1.png

 

Step two: Create a Table to store news information

This table should contain all essential information needed for news.

1.png

 

Step three: Generate SICF service and provide RSS 2.0 format

For the news app itself we need to provide RSS document.

Please refer XML RSS for the principle of RSS 2.0.

We create a SICF service called znews to generate this kind of RSS document (This is the service name you bind in Step one).

Create a class called ZCL_NEWS_SERVICE. Fill in IF_HTTP_EXTENSION in Interface.  Fill below code in IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST.  Check and active this class.

Error - ABAP Dictionary element not found

0
0

If you have been used to creating, updating gateway services for some time, you might have encountered an issue where you transported your objects/changes to the productive system but your changes did not reflect in the metadata and therefore not usable/working for your update.

 

The change could be as simple as introducing a new field, or changing the name of the field or changing the properties of it. How it is supposed to work is that every time you make a change to the structure of your app via SEGW or directly in your model definition class. The objects are regenerated and once you kick off a call to the service's metadata, it checks for the time stamps and refreshes the metadata based on the model definition.

 

Sometimes, that doesn't work that well and would result in the infamous error /IWBEP/CM_MGW_RT106 (message class /IWBEP/CM_MGW_RT, message no 106). It reads "ABAP Dictionary element 'ZCLXXX_MDP=>FieldXX' not found.", where the field name is ZCLXXX_MDP=>FieldXX, which seems to be the root cause. You could look this up in the error log in the gateway system under transaction /n/IWFND/ERROR_LOG

error.png

The reference documentation has the solution, simply clear the cache in BOTH gateway and the backend system.


Usually the landscape admins would set up jobs for maintenance of Cache which could be directly kicked off using tcode ‘/IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP’ on the gateway system or ‘/IWBEP/CACHE_CLEANUP’ in the backend system, to fully clear the cache or to clear the cache for a specific model.

 

The error message class also points out to where (in which system) the problem is. In my quoted example, it is the backend system represented by IWBEP

 

Hope this blog is helpful to you!

Presenter: Ed Anuff, VP of Product Strategy at Apigee

Title:API-First: The New Enterprise Architecture For Systems of Engagement
Abstract: Many developers and architects who are very familiar with the principles of SOA are confused about all the talk of APIs. Ed Anuff will discuss why APIs are core to your enterprise's "Systems of Engagement" and why they are different than "Systems of Record" technologies such as ESBs and SOA.  He'll explore the latest trends in API design such as experience-based APIs that are designed to power end-user interactions across devices and mobile apps, as well as the emerging use of micro-services to use API best practices to assemble web-scale composite applications.

File Attachment in Material Document (MIGO) using SAP Gateway

0
0

Business Case: The business requirement is to attach any document while doing the goods receipt for material. The  attachments can be any reference documents or image or any other document related to goods receipt of the material. To meet this requirement SAP has provided a tool bar called 'Generic Service Toolbar'(GOS).

 

 

Now a days since we are using mobile application so there is a requirement to create a attachment for existing Material document through Net-weaver Gateway. We can able to upload any document (PDF/DOC/JPG/XLS)  and through OData service  the document will be linked to the corresponding Material document.

 

The below are steps required to create an OData service in SAP NW Gateway.

 

Step-1: Create a project for Attachment using SEGW transaction.

 

Step-2: Create an Entity type, Entity sets. Remember the entity type should be defined as a Media type.

 

1.jpg

 

Step-3: Create a property for the Entity type.

 

2.jpg

Step-4: Generate the project. It should create all the back end classes for MPC, MPC_EXT, DPC and DPC_EXT.

              Now go to DPC_EXT class and redefine the method /IWBEP/IF_MGW_APPL_SRV_RUNTIME~CREATE_STREAM.

 

              Inside the method write the below code to convert the XSTRING received from the OData service into Binary format and

              then upload the binary data into SAP.

Second day started with energizing keynote session by SAP Executive Board Member Bernd Leukert. He said- "You have the ability to manage your company in a completely different way". He said that SAP has reinvented analytics business. Leukert called Cloud for Analytics “the newest member of our SAP family” before a demonstration, which featured a fictitious retail chain with a few underperforming stores. The tool singlehandedly quickly identified them, geographically represented them and even evaluated their competition, revealing that sales at rival stores were stealing market share. He also stressed on 'SAP HANA Cloud Platform' as the platform to build business applications. There was a demo that revealed how HCP can help an enterprise create a Web page to conduct business in another country. There was much more and you can see recorded videohere.

Gateway Goggles

Imagine this: your friend is a plant maintenance supervisor. His colleagues running the plant fill out hand-written forms identifying broken down equipment. Half those papers he loses somewhere in his disaster of a desk. The other half he has to mash out on his desktop keyboard over lunch. His job is fixing problems, but he's spending more time pushing papers.

 

Enter you. You're a phenomenally skilled SAP developer, known through the company for creative solutions. You hand your buddy an iPhone. On it runs an SAPUI5 app that lets him take a picture of the paper as soon as it's handed to him. The app interprets the things written on the paper and puts them in the appropriate fields on his screen. He gives it a once-over and hits "Submit" - ready to actually enjoy a distraction-free lunch break.

 

You are a hero to your friend and he tells everyone how awesome you are. The CEO gets wind of this innovation and makes you CTO. You retire wealthy and start that surf shop on the beach you always dreamed of.


I'm going to show you how to give your Gateway system “eyes” that can interpret content in a photo. In a ridiculously easy way. No promises on the surf shop, though.

 

Google recently made their Cloud Vision API available for anyone to try. I love when the big software companies give me things to play with. It means I can try out wild and crazy ideas from the comfort of my keyboard. So as soon as I could, I took some free time to tinker with the Vision API and mash it up with SAP Gateway.

 

I present here a simple prototype for using these two tools in tandem. There are about a billion ways this could be useful, so I hope my little slice of code helps someone along the way.

 

I’ll show you how to use Gateway to request Google Vision API processing. I picked a couple Vision abilities that I find awesome, but the API is capable of more.


Without further ado - let’s get started!


Setup


Before you write any code, you’ll need:

  • An SAP Gateway system. If you’re reading this blog and don’t know what that is, then I apologize because you’re probably really bored.
  • Configuration to allow that system to HTTP POST to an external internet API. See here for setting up STRUST to allow that.
  • A Google account, with the Cloud Vision API enabled. Be warned: if you use it more than 1,000 times a month, it’s not free. Just make sure it takes you less than 1,000 tries to get it right.
  • An API key set up in the Google account. I suggest using the browser API key for prototyping, and service accounts for productive use. Getting an API key is covered in the Google getting started guide.

 

Once you have the above configured, it’s time to cracking on the code.

 

Show Me The Code Already

Now that we have things ready to roll, fire up your Gateway system and go to t-code SEGW. I set up a very simple entity that will just hold the description of what Google thinks an image is. Just 3 fields:


Screen Shot 2016-02-26 at 4.56.55 PM.png


Make sure to flag that entity as a "Media" entity:


Screen Shot 2016-02-26 at 4.57.38 PM.png


And that’s it for our bare-bones service definition. You could get a lot more architecturally crazy and set up a bunch of entities and fields to capture every single thing that comes out of the Google API - but I just wanted to get it up and running to see what I could get.


Only two steps left in the setup: coding the model enhancement necessary for media entities and coding the CREATE_STREAM method for processing the file data.


First, the model enhancement. Navigate to the *MPC_EXT class in your project and do a redefinition of the DEFINE method. This code should get you what you need. It’s so short that it’s basically self-explanatory:



  METHODdefine.    super->define( ).    DATA:    lo_entity   TYPE REF TO /iwbep/if_mgw_odata_entity_typ,    lo_propertyTYPE REF TO /iwbep/if_mgw_odata_property.    lo_entity=model->get_entity_type( iv_entity_name='VisionDemo' ).    IFlo_entityIS BOUND.      lo_property=lo_entity->get_property( iv_property_name='ContentType' ).      lo_property->set_as_content_type( ).    ENDIFENDMETHOD.


The model is now ready to support media stuff (in our case pictures) coming in. The other side of the equation is to prepare the request to be sent to Google for processing. We’ll do that in the CREATE_STREAM method of the *DPC_EXT class that the SEGW project generated. Same deal as before, do a redefine of that method and put in the following code:



  METHOD /iwbep/if_mgw_appl_srv_runtime~create_stream.    TYPES: BEGIN OFfeature,             typeTYPEstring,             max_resultsTYPEi,           END OFfeature.    TYPES: featuresTYPE STANDARD TABLE OFfeatureWITHDEFAULTKEY.    TYPES: BEGIN OFimage,             contentTYPEstring,           END OFimage.    TYPES: BEGIN OFrequest,             imageTYPEimage,             featuresTYPEfeatures,           END OFrequest.    TYPES: requestsTYPE STANDARD TABLE OFrequestWITHDEFAULTKEY.    TYPES: BEGIN OFoverall_request,             requestsTYPErequests,           END OFoverall_request.    DATAoverall_requestTYPEoverall_request.    DATArequestsTYPETABLE OFrequest.    DATArequestTYPErequest.    DATAfeatureTYPEfeature.    DATAlv_b64_contentTYPEstring.    DATAlo_http_client  TYPE REF TOif_http_client.    DATAlv_response_dataTYPEstring.    DATAlv_urlTYPEstring.    DATAlv_request_jsonTYPEstring.    DATAlv_response_jsonTYPEstring.    DATAlo_descrTYPE REF TOcl_abap_structdescr.    DATAlv_startTYPEi.    DATAlv_endTYPEi.    DATAlv_total_charsTYPEi.    DATAls_visiondemoTYPEzcl_zgoogle_vision_mpc=>ts_visiondemo.    DATAlv_end_markerTYPEstring.    CALL FUNCTION'SCMS_BASE64_ENCODE_STR'      EXPORTING        input  =is_media_resource-value      IMPORTING        output=lv_b64_content.    lv_url='https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate?key=GET_YOUR_OWN_KEY'.    request-image-content=lv_b64_content.    feature-type=iv_slug.    feature-max_results=1.    APPENDfeatureTOrequest-features.    APPENDrequestTOrequests.    overall_request-requests=requests.    lo_descr?=cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( overall_request ).    lv_request_json= /ui2/cl_json=>dump( data=overall_requesttype_descr=lo_descrpretty_name=abap_true ).    cl_http_client=>create_by_url(      EXPORTING        url                =lv_url      IMPORTING        client             =lo_http_client ).    lo_http_client->request->set_method( method='POST' ).    lo_http_client->request->set_content_type( content_type='application/json' ).    lo_http_client->request->append_cdata2( EXPORTINGdata=lv_request_json ).    lo_http_client->send( ).    lo_http_client->receive( ).    lv_response_data=lo_http_client->response->get_cdata( ).    IFiv_slug='LOGO_DETECTION'.      lv_end_marker='"score":'.    ELSE.      lv_end_marker='"boundingPoly":'.    ENDIF.    SEARCHlv_response_dataFOR'"description":'.    lv_start=sy-fdpos+16.    SEARCHlv_response_dataFORlv_end_marker.    lv_end=sy-fdpos.    lv_total_chars=lv_end-lv_start.    ls_visiondemo-id=1.    ls_visiondemo-description=lv_response_data+lv_start(lv_total_chars).    copy_data_to_ref( EXPORTINGis_data=ls_visiondemo                       CHANGINGcr_data=er_entity ).  ENDMETHOD.


Note the following about this code snippet:

  • I’m using the IV_SLUG parameter to control what kind of request (logo or text detection) I’m making to Google. This means using the “slug” header in an HTTP request, which I’ll show you below.
  • Google expects picture data to be base64 encoded, so the FM SCMS_BASE64_ENCODE_STR handles that for us.
  • Get your own API key - the string at the end of my URL will not work for you. Replace GET_YOUR_OWN_KEY with your actual key.
  • There are a number of ways to handle JSON type data in ABAP. I used the /ui2/cl_json method purely out of simplicity for a demo. For a more robust solution see how to use JSON with the XML parsing tools.
  • There is basically no error handling here. That’s the great thing about prototyping.
  • I know the way I pull the description out of the response is a total hack.

 

 

Try It Out

The easiest way to try this out is through the Gateway Client (/iwfnd/gw_client). Here’s how:


Navigate to /iwfnd/gw_client on your Gateway system. Enter the request parameters as seen here (assuming you’ve named things the same that I have):


gw_client setup.PNG


The two possible values I verified for “slug” are TEXT_DETECTION and LOGO_DETECTION - though the API supports many more than that.


Next, put a picture in the body of the request by clicking “Add File”. If you choose TEXT_DETECTION as the slug, then make sure your image actually has text. Here’s what the result looks like if I put in a picture of my business card. Look at the “Description” field in the right hand text (and note that Google automatically puts in newline characters if there are line breaks in the picture):


result from business card.PNG



And check it out if I put in a logo with the LOGO_DETECTION slug parameter (“Skunk Works” is the right answer for this picture):


logo detection result.PNG


Wrap It Up, Paul

So I’ve proved out that I can use the Google Cloud Vision API in conjunction with SAP Gateway - but I haven’t really done anything truly useful. However, I have some really exciting ideas for this and can’t wait to continue using these mega-powerful cloud services! I hope that my small example helps someone else dream big and make something amazing.

ODATA SERVICE FOR PURCHASE ORDER using RFC

0
0

Let discuss the PO creation steps using gateway services in detail.

Step1. Open Tcode SEGW and create a project as shown in below.

1.png

Give the details as shown  below .

2.png

Step 2. Create the first entity by importing an RFC interface. For this right-click on Data Model and choose Import -> RFC/BOR Interface.

3.png

Step 3. Enter the following values in the wizard and then choose next:

 

Entity Type Name

PurchaseOrder

Target System

Local

Data Source Type

Remote Function Calls

Data Source Name

bapi_po_getdetail

4.png

Step 4. Expand the PO_HEADER node and select the following fields:
POHEADER,COMPANYCODE,DOC_CAT,DOC_TYPE,STATUS,VENDOR,PURCH_ORG,PUR_GROUP and Choose Next.



5.png

Step 5. In the first line, PO_NUMBER, select the field Is Key and choose Finish:

6.png

Step 6. Create the second entity again by importing an RFC interface. Right-click Data Model and choose Import -> RFC/BOR Interface

7.png

Step 7. Enter the following values in the wizard and choose next:

 

Entity Type Name

PurchaseOrderItem

Target System

Local

Data Source Type

Remote Function Calls

Data Source Name

BAPI_PO_GETITEMS   

8.png

Step 8. Expand the PO_ITEMS node and select the following fields:
po_item,material,pur_mat,mat_grp,net_price,price_unit,disp_quan
Choose Next.

     9.png

10.png

Step 9.Now our project has 2 entities – one for the Purchase Order and one for the Purchase Order Item. As a next step we create entity-sets out of these entities. Expand the node Data Model and double-click Entity Sets:

Name

Entity Type Name

PurchaseOrderSet

PurchaseOrder

PurchaseOrderItemSet

PurchaseOrderItem

11.png

Step 10.Now the basic definition of the Model is done. As a next step we can generate the necessary runtime artifacts.

a.     Click on the Generate pushbutton:

b.     Leave the default values and choose Enter:

12.png

Please note the Technical Service Name ZPURCHASEORDER_SRV is equal to the External Service Name required to consume this service later on. 

c .Choose Local Object.

d. Runtime objects have been generated successfully now.

  Step 11.Now we can Register and Activate the Service.

a. Double-click Service Maintenance

13.png

b. Select system EC7 and click on the Register button. Please note that the entries listed here depend on the System Alias configuration you have done in the SAP Net Weaver Gateway Implementation Guide (IMG). In a local deployed environment (Backend and Hub components deployed on the same box) you might also find “LOCAL” with the RFC destination “NONE” here

14.png

c. Confirm the warning message displayed in the popup: click yes

d.Press F4 to select the system alias. Select LOCAL from the input held.

e.Confirm the Select System Alias popup: click ok

f. Leave the default values and enter $tmp as the package and choose Enter:

15.png

The External Service Name is defaulted with the Technical Service Name from the Generation Step

g. Verify that the service has been registered and activated successfully:

16.png

Step 12.Now we can run our service the first time. Please note that we’ve only maintained the basic model data so far. As a consequence we can access the metadata of the service,

a. Open a new window, start transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT.

b. Enter URI:  /sap/opu/odata/sap/ ZPURCHASEORDER_SRV/$metadata and choose Execute

17.png

Step 13.ZPURCHASEORDER_SRV is External Service Name that was registered before.

We have created a Service Builder Project with two entities and two entity-sets. We have generated the runtime artifacts and registered and activated our OData service.

Step 14.Now we will map the data provider to bring life into our OData service.

(i)Get the PO header data

  • We will start with the Query method for the PurchaseOrderSet entity-set. Expand the node Service Implementation -> PurchaseOrderSet and right-click GetEntity (Read) and select Map to Data Source:

18.png

  • In the map to data source window, enter the following values and choose Enter:

Target System

Local

Data Source Type

Remote Function Call

Data Source Name

bapi_po_getdetail

19.png

  • Map the output parameters by dragging the fields from the model on right side. Also create an input parameter for providing the PO to the RFC. Choose Enter:

Mapping will look like,

20.png

Then Save.

We are done with getting the PO header details.

(ii). Now, we need to get the lines item based on given purchase order number.

For this, we will create operation in entity set PurchaseOrderItemSet.

  • We will start with the Query method for the PurchaseOrderItemSet entity-set.
  • Expand the node Service Implementation - PurchaseOrderItemSet and right-click GetEntitySet (Query) and select Map to Data Source:

21.png

  • Provide Data source name as ‘BAPI_PO_GETITEMS’ and Data source type as ‘Remote Function Call’.
  • Map the output parameters by dragging the fields from the model on right side. Also create an input parameter for providing the PO to the RFC. Choose Enter:

22.png

  • Regenerate the artifacts.

Testing the Service:

Select the registered service and click on gateway client.

23.png

Sample Case 1: For getting PO HEADER DATA provide

/sap/opu/odata/SAP/ZPURCHASEORDER_SRV/PurchaseOrderSet('3000000004') and click on execute.

24.png

25.png

Sample Case 2: For getting PO ITEM DATA provide /sap/opu/odata/SAP/ZPURCHASEORDER_SRV/PurchaseOrderItemSet?$filter=PoNumber eq '3000000004' and click on execute

Consume Odata Service in ABAP CL_HTTP_CLIENT->CREATE_BY_DESTINATION

0
0

This blog would have not been possible, but for the awesome community that is SCN. I would like to thank every contributor ever for helping me out in my hours of need!.

 

I had tremendous help in navigating through my current requirement thanks to the below blog posts.

How to consume an OData service using OData Services Consumption and Integration (OSCI)

Thank you. Andre Fischer

 

Consuming an External RESTful Web Service with ABAP in Gateway

And Paul J. Modderman

 

both these blogs helped me understand the intricacies of the functionality that is Consuming an OData Service.

this Blog can be considered as an extension of the Blog by Paul J. Modderman.

 

we can consume a data service by using the method CREATE_BY_URL of the class CL_HTTP_CLIENT, but when authentication is involved this method was ill suited for it.

 

The CREATE_BY_DESTINATION method however enables us to store the Credentials in a more standard and secured fashion.

 

The Requirement:-

I needed to access an OData service that was exposed by HANA . It is required that we trigger this service from the ECC system and process the result.

 

The user would be logging in to ECC directly and not via portal, thus it would require the use of an RFC destination Login Credentials.

 

The Process:-

Step 1.

we have to create the RFC connection in SM59 as below.

 

  1. Go to TCode SM59
  2. Click on the create new connection button.
  3. Provide the description
  4. Choose the connection type as G.
  5. enter the Host name/port number(an Odata Service generally has a URL containing ".COM" followed by ":" Port Number)
    1. The  part until the ".com" without the HTTP:// is the host name
    2. The part after the ":" is the port number
  6. Enter any proxy details if a proxy is being used(we were not in my case)
  7. go to the Logon & Security tab
    1. CHoose the Basic Authentication Radio Button.
    2. Enter the logon credentials
  8. Save and click on connection test.
  9. If all setting are proper you should be able to see a webapage that is relevant to the Host you entered, in the Response Body/Response Text tabs.

 

Step2.

 

Now that we have created the RFC connection we proceed to the creation of the HTTP client .

 

to create the client we use the attached  code. CL_HTTP_CLIENT.txt.

 

 

DATA:   lo_http_client TYPE REF TO if_http_client,

        lv_service TYPE string,

        lv_result TYPE string.

 

 

"xml variables

        lo_streamfactory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory,

        lo_istream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_istream,

        lo_parser TYPE REF TO if_ixml_parser,

        lo_weather_element TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,

        lo_weather_nodes TYPE REF TO if_ixml_node_list,
