How to pass initialization parameters from an SAPUI5 application to an OData service

[pietrom_]

Hello experts,

I have made an SAPUI5 application that uses an ABAP OData service in order to performs some action over a set of tasks. This set is determined by the user that is currently logged in, i.e. the sy-uname.

Now I want that that application will be initialized with an arbitrary user, known to the SAPUI5 application when it starts.

I want to launch the UI5 app with a parameter PersonnelNumber=xxxxxxx and I want that parameter to be passed with every request made to the OData service in order to make the OData service work with the chosen PersonnelNumber.

I've seen that I could use serviceUrlParams like this:

var oModel =new sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel({ 
    serviceUrl:"http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc",    
    serviceUrlParams:{
        PersonnelNumber:"27161617"}});

But I don't know how to get that number in the ABAP OData service.

Can someone kindly help me?

Thank you.

Pietro

your odata service may be able to receive parameters via filtering on the query string such as:

../service?$filter=COLUMN eq 'value'

please check out the odata filtering syntax for other operations
