Finding the backend OData from /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE

[suwandi_cahyadi]

Hello,

In my Fiori Front-end server (which is a standalone hub server), there are some Z* odata service maintained in /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE. Now, I want to find the backend implementation of those odata service. So, I check the system alias maintained for one of the Z* odata service and it is pointing to the S4/HANA backend server and since the service name ends with *_CDS, I assume it is a CDS enabled odata service.

Then I go to the S4/HANA backend server, open the ADT and search (ctrl + shift + a) for all DDLS (type:ddls) starts with Z*. But I just find a few CDS and not odata enabled. Hmm.., then I go to the SEGW and also do not find any Z* project in SEGW.

So, how to find the backend implementation of the OData service from only knowing the OData service from the /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE of the front end server?

Thank you.

Hi Suwandi Cahyadi,

Check the below blog, it has a very good information about finding the cds view from odata service.

https://blogs.sap.com/2019/07/03/fiori-for-sap-s4hana-identifying-the-odata-services-cds-views-and-a...

One more thing is when standard odata services are also implemented(activated) then they will be added as Z* in the /iwfnd/maint_service. SO there will be one more column called external service name, which is the actual service name..

So probably you are looking at a standard odata service and searching with Z* for ddls sources ??

Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I see, yes there is another column "External Service Name" and it does not start with Z*. Most likely it is a standard odata service?

Thank you.

Suwandi Cahyadi, yes it is the standard odata service
