Configuring Gateway and ODATA Services

The SAP Gateway must be conﬁgured to receive and execute OData requests.

Enabling ICM Services

OData operates on the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Therefore, the Internet Communication Manager (ICM) must enable the corresponding services.

You should set the following SAP proﬁle parameters using Tcode:RZ10

icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=<http port>,TIMEOUT=7200,PROCTIMEOUT=7200

icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=<https port>,TIMEOUT=7200,PROCTIMEOUT=7200

The following are the steps to activate the SAP Gateway:

Call transaction SPRO and click SAP Reference IMG.
Right-click on node SAP NetWeaver > SAP Gateway > OData Channel > Conﬁguration >Activate or Deactivate SAP Gateway and select Edit Activity from the context menu.
If the message in the dialog reads "SAP Gateway is currently active,” click Cancel. Otherwise, click Activate.

The below steps help to deﬁne an SAP system alias for the backend system in the gateway system:

Call transaction SPRO and click SAP Reference IMG.
Right-click on node SAP NetWeaver >SAP Gateway >OData Channel >Conﬁguration > Connection Settings >SAP Gateway to SAP System >Manage SAP Aliases and select Edit Activity from the context menu.
If the backend SAP system appears in the list, you are done. Otherwise:
Click New Entries.
Specify SAP System Alias, a Description, the RFC Destination (NONE for embedded deployment), the System ID and the Client of the backend SAP system. Check ﬂag Local GW and enter DEFAULT for Software Version.
Click Save (Ctrl+S).

Right-click on node SAP NetWeaver >SAP Gateway Service Enablement >Backend OData
Channel >SAP Gateway Settings and select Edit Activity from context menu.
