Expose oData service created in CPI in API Management

[tushar_saurabh2]

Hi,

The scenario is:

1. oData Service is created and deployed in CPI (Productive Tenant)

2. Expose this oData service in SAP APIM (Trial account)

I have created an API provider in SAP APIM which created a destination. While testing the connection, I am getting "404: Not found".

API Provider:

While creating API, I am getting below error;

I have referred to below blog "

Please guide me where things are wrong.

Thanks

Hello Tushar,

Just to add to what Elijah has written above, we also need to check that both the instance CPI and APIM are either in trial or in a production environment.

What I see above is you are using your trial for APIM and productive instance for CPI which I guess is a problem.

Hi Shilpa,

They need not be on same instance whether productive or trial. I was able to create both oData and ReST API using CPI (Productive) and APIM(Trial).

Thanks

Hello Tushar,

When I tried around 8 months back, I could not do this.

But thanks for the info if you are able to do it now, I will also try the same and will modify the comments in blogs/videos etc.

Hi Tushar,

I think that we may need to revamp the guide a little bit, as there is some unclarity. In order to create an API Provider connecting to your CPI tenant you must use the following configuration:

Host:

<hcitenant>-tmn.<hciservice>.hana.ondemand.com

replacing the items in brackets with your particularities.

Then set

Service Collection URL: /gw/CATALOGSERVICE/ServiceCollection

Assuming that is configured correctly, you will be able to discover your OData service assuming it was deployed successfully in your CPI tenant.

I hope this helps.

regards,

Elijah

Hi Elijah
Thanks for your inputs. I did make it work through a workaround. Created an API provider connecting to CPI (Production) on APIM (Trial) for option to create ODATA API.
API Provider Endpoint: <tenant iflmap>.hana.ondemand.com
oData service endpoint in API :- /gw/odata/<API particulars>
I was able to accomplish this way.
Thanks
