Understanding the process of OData

247 Views Last edit Jun 15, 2018 at 10:31 AM 3 rev

This is a question to improve my understanding about OData and the process of OData services. I'm not sure about the process when an OData request is sent to the server from my Fiori app. The app is added to our Fiori Launchpad. When the user wants to create a new target group in the UI, a create request is sent. What happens then in detail? What I thought so far:

  • OData service checks the data
  • If the data is valid, a new entry in the database is created (HTTP POST)
  • If the data is not valid, the OData service sends an error

I'm not sure about what information is delivered by the OData service and what information is delivered directly from the database? Does the OData service work like a adjustor which transfers the messages sent from the database to the application?

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to figure out. Thank you for your time.
