How to connect imported BUILD SAPUI5 template with a Nodejs OData service? (SAP HANA Express XSA)

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm writing my bachelors thesis on SAP HANA XSA development. The idea is to create a simple CRM, mostly CRUD.

I've decided to create the frontend part in BUILD trying to demonstrate the design and Q&A process.

The BUILD template I've created was successfully imported into WEB IDE (HANA Express) on GCP and successfully configured to use the mock server included on export when using data editor in BUILD.

The question is, how to configure the manifest.json file (and other configs) to use my Nodejs OData service that is running on the same server as a part of this XSA app (using an absolute path is not an option).

good luck w the theses... in this series, you will find a few blogs on the entire process to do a simple sapui5 application w the db module and the nodejs odata v2 web service to expose data. https://blogs.sap.com/2018/09/19/my-experience-with-hana2-xe-sp3-series/

good luck!
