[prasanna_prabhu2]

Hello All,

Curently we are looking of incorporating association and navigation path concept to build the heirarchy in  our project.

Since we are new to this topic, it would be helpful if anybody provide the material or useful links on this topic.

Thanks in Advance

Hi

There are a lot of ways with which you can achieve this functionality and this depends on the NW GW version you are in.

One such transaction is SEGW (if you are in SP5 release). where in you can automatically generate the service from Genil or RFC FM's or BOR etc.

Other way is to model them manually . you can find the how to guides in

The above document explains in detail how to create associations and navigation paths manually.

And the GW page has a lot of info http://scn.sap.com/community/netweaver-gateway/content?filterID=content~objecttype~objecttype%5Bdocu...

Hi Gururaj,

The scenario is like, we should build a heirarchy between attributes like Country->state->city.

Is the association approach serves our purpose..??

Please find attached image of the heirarchy.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Prasanna,

The associations works well here. wherein you create 4 entity sets and and bind them together with association. Also you need to handle the Query and Read operations based on the entity set name separately for each of them.
