Gateway Service Setup - Single System

Maintain SAP Gateway Settings

Setup GW_HUB destinations for each system in your landscape. Enter GW_HUB as the “Destination system”, the client Looply will run in as the client, the system id as the “System Alias” and leave the RFC destination blank.

  • In NW 7.0-731 go the IMG in transaction SPRO, and open SAP NetWeaver->Gateway Service Enablement->Backend OData Channel->Connection Settings to SAP Netweaver Gateway->SAP Netweaver Gateway Settings

  • In NW 740+ go to the IMG in transaction SPRO and open SAP NetWeaver->SAP Gateway Service Enablement->Backend OData Channel->Connection Settings to SAP Gateway->SAP Gateway Settings

  • Alternatively you could also directly edit table /IWBEP/C_SYSTEM in sm30

Manage SAP System Alias

Manage SAP System Alias and make sure the SAP System Alias is assigned to LOCAL.

  • In NW 7.0-731 go the IMG in transaction SPRO, and open SAP NetWeaver->Gateway->OData Channel->Configuration->Connection Settings->SAP Gateway to SAP System->Manage SAP System Aliases

  • In NW 740+ go to the IMG in transaction SPRO and open SAP Netweaver->SAP Gateway->OData Channel->Configuration->Connection Settings->SAP Gateway to SAP System->Manage SAP System Aliases

  • Alternatively you could also directly edit table /IWFND/V_DFSYAL in sm30.

Activate SAP Gateway

Activate SAP Gateway in every system in the landscape (if it is not already activated).

  • In NW 7.0-731 go the IMG in transaction SPRO ->SAP Netweaver->Gateway->OData Channel->Configuration->Activate or Deactivate SAP Gateway

  • In NW 740+ go to the IMG in transaction SPRO->SAP Netweaver->SAP Gateway->OData Channel->Configuration->Activate or Deactivate SAP Gateway if you are on a NW 740 system) and make sure SAP Gateway is active.

Assign Alias to oData Service

For the alias defined in the above step, create an entry in table /IWFND/V_MGDEAM (via transaction sm30) for service /LOOPLY/SERVICE_SRV_0001.

oData Service Authorization

In order for users to be able to post data to SAP (to approve a card for example), they must have authorization for the underlying oData service. To add this to a (new or existing) role, do the following:

  • Add authorization object s_service to the role

  • Click on the “change” button next to “Program, transaction or functi”:

  • Select “TADIR Service” in the “Type” drop-down and add the following two entries: R3TR IWSG /LOOPLY/SERVICE_SRV_0001 R3TR IWSV /LOOPLY/SERVICE_SRV 0001

Transport Changes

Transport all the changes made and new objects created in the above steps (including table entries) throughout your landscape.

Activate sicf Node

In every system in your landscape, go to transaction SICF and activate the following node:

/sap/opu/odata/looply/service_srv
