SAP Service Activation Letter : Activate and Maintain Services – SAP<\/span><\/h2>\n

Describes the actions available within the\u00a0Activate and Maintain Services<\/span>\u00a0activity in the IMG.<\/p>\n

\n

Use<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

The transaction for activating and maintaining services is used to maintain all registered services on the\u00a0SAP Gateway<\/span>\u00a0server (hub system), to register and activate services, to delete services, and to simplify the usage in general.<\/p>\n

The service maintenance offers the following advantages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Fast overview of all registered services on the\u00a0SAP Gateway<\/span>\u00a0hub system as well as backend systems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Detailed display of a service, such as ICF nodes and system alias assignment<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Easy generation and activation of new services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The service maintenance is part of the Implementation Guide (IMG) in your\u00a0SAP Gateway<\/span>\u00a0system. In the SAP Reference IMG (transaction\u00a0SPRO<\/span>) navigate to \u00a0SAP NetWeaver<\/span> >\u00a0SAP Gateway<\/span> >\u00a0\u00a0OData Channel<\/span> \u00a0>Administration<\/span> \u00a0> General Settings<\/span> >\u00a0Activate and Maintain Services<\/span> <\/span>.<\/p>\n

    \"Activate<\/p>\n

    The main screen is divided into an upper and a lower part in which the upper part shows all registered services (\u00a0Service Catalog<\/span>) and the lower part shows the details of the selected service from the\u00a0Service Catalog<\/span>. The details are split into\u00a0ICF Nodes<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0System Aliases<\/span>.<\/p>\n

    In the\u00a0Activate and Maintain Services<\/span>\u00a0screen you can access some basic\u00a0SAP Gateway<\/span>\u00a0functions directly:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      You can quickly access the SAP Gateway Client by choosing\u00a0\"Start\u00a0Goto<\/span>\u00a0\"Next\u00a0SAP GW Client<\/span>\u00a0\"End<\/span>. The SAP Gateway Client provides general testing functions for your OData services.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      You can quickly access the metadata cache by choosing\u00a0\"Start\u00a0Goto<\/span>\u00a0\"Next\u00a0Cleanup of Model Cache<\/span>\u00a0\"End<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n

      Service Catalog<\/span><\/h2>\n

      The service catalog lists all services of the current system. You can easily find services from a backend system that have not yet been registered by choosing\u00a0Add Service<\/span> in the menu bar<\/p>\n

      The list of services that will be added is shown as soon as a system alias is provided. The list can be further limited by entering additional search criteria as filter values<\/p>\n

      \"Example\"<\/p>\n

      You can select a service from the list under\u00a0Add Service<\/span>\u00a0via the hotspot of column\u00a0Technical Service Name<\/span>,\u00a0Service Description<\/span>, or\u00a0External Service Name<\/span>.<\/p>\n

      Details about the selected service are displayed. In this detailed view you always enter a valid package name or, for local objects which should not be transported, you choose\u00a0Local Object\u00a0<\/span>which will automatically assign package\u00a0$TMP<\/span>\u00a0to the service.<\/p>\n

      \"Example\"<\/p>\n

      In section\u00a0ICF Node<\/span>\u00a0the option\u00a0Set current client as default client in ICF Node<\/span>\u00a0is pre-selected as well as the ICF node to be used. ICF node creation is disabled if the service already has an ICF node. This is because different versions are using the same ICF node \/ ICF service. If ICF services for both modes (standard as well as compatibility) exist, then both radio buttons would be greyed out. If only one ICF service exists, then only one ICF button will be greyed out. For example, if an ICF node for the compatibility mode already exists, then this option is greyed out and\u00a0None<\/span>\u00a0is set. In this case, you could activate the standard mode.<\/p>\n

      Service versioning<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Service versioning<\/span>\u00a0helps an administrator to generate a service with an additional version. In addition, detailed information of each service can be displayed to get a first idea on the different versions. Thus an administrator can easily handle different versions of a service that are provided by the backend system(s).<\/p>\n

      Apart from activating single services, you can also activate several services at once. This\u00a0mass activation<\/strong>\u00a0can be useful for large amounts of services that have to be available quickly. Of course you need several services to start with. To carry out mass activation, proceed as follows:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Choose\u00a0Add Service<\/span>.<\/li>\n
      2. Enter the relevant system alias. You can use a filter, if needed.<\/li>\n
      3. In the list, select those services that you want to activate and choose\u00a0Add Selected Services<\/span>.<\/li>\n
      4. Enter a prefix for your service and model names, for example Z and enter a valid package and choose\u00a0Enter<\/span>.\n

        A list of all the services that were created is displayed, together with a status indicator (green for successful execution). Now you can close this screen.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The list of selected backend services no longer contains those services that you have activated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
