Hello Ahmad,

Could you be more specific with the issue you are facing?

Are you getting error in the Web IDE console after launching the build?

At the end, I have created a SAPUI5 application, I have declare my destination for the iot service as above. When I test the connection it return 302. Which is not a problem.

After in the Sap Web IDE I add a few line related to the destination in the "neo-app.json"

{
        "path": "/myPath", 
	"target": {
		"type": "destination",
		"name": " **Name of the destination** ",
		"entryPath" : "/"
	},
	"description": ""
},

Then in your controller

var url = "/myPath/the-complete-path-for-your-request";
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel()
oModel.loadData(url, null, false, "GET", true, false, null);

There are different type of model. Read the doc and pick the one you need

LoadData() Documentation

Now eveything work. Following this model I was able to declare other destination and using it.
Hopefully it will help someone.

Hello Lionel,

If you need to develop a Freestyle IoT Applications and need to have destinations configured for it, you can do it directly from Web IDE by selecting Tools -> Update IoT Destinations

Hello,

I think that I am getting stuck at the same point as you. Then instead of ceating a new topic I will try to give more details about my problem, hopefully it will help you also.
When creating a project it is asking to link a "Data Source" (a service)

As indicated in many source, we have to go to the "Cockpit" -> "Connectivity" -> "Destinations"

If I have understood, it is creating a service that we will be able to use for the app.

My cockpit looks this way

But I am not figuring out which url I have to input to the iot service.

My problem:

The iot service is an API. So it is already a service that I can consume via Ajax or whatever in my Fiori front-end.

Do I have to link a service and how?

Thank you for your attention.
