Copy of Approve Purchase Order Odata service

[Former Member]

Can we create a copy of Approve purchase order Odata service.

I think this service was built without using service builder.

My requirement is to keep the existing std package created for this service and create a copy of this one along with additional entity sets.

Please assist on how to proceed.

Hi Atanu,

Thanks for your reply.

I have a query

- Will redefining only import data models(no service implementation logic)

My requirement is to add one entity set to the available list.

Best Regards,

Import will create a new service based on your old service. That means when you call your new service internally old service will be called. This is true for both model and data.

If you create  a new entity that will exist in the context of new service.

However from the service user perspective, there is only the new service. All features of old service including both data and model will be available via new service created by redefinition.

Instead of copying REDEFINITION of the service would be a better choice. Using REDEFINITION feature in SEGW you can

   1.  onboard the non SEGW service( service designed using the old techniques ) into SEGW project.

   2. You can add new entity via service builder
