SAP Cloud Platform Backend service: Tutorial [12]: CDS : local: buildSAP Cloud Platform Backend service: Tutorial [12]: CDS : local: buildCompiling a CDS model locally with the cds command-line tool, installed from @sap/cds via SAP's own npm registry, before uploading it to SAP Cloud Platform Backend service: cds compile converts the model to CSN by default, --to edmx or --to edm produces the OData V2 or V4 metadata document, and --to hana or --to sql produces the database-specific definition files. It shows the local build catching an error the CDS editor's own validation misses — an entity with no key, valid CSN but invalid OData — before the same model reaches the server's compiler.CarlosRoggan, published 2019-04-15
How to add OData v2 adapter proxy to your CAP projectHow to add OData v2 adapter proxy to your CAP projectThe problem is stated in one line — a UI5 application that only speaks OData v2 in front of a CAP service that speaks v4 — and the answer is a proxy in the middle rather than a rewrite of either end. Written while v4 support in the UI5 stack was still patchy, which is the whole reason the adapter exists.published 2020-06-30

Resolving date serialization issues when using an external OData v2 service with CAPResolving date serialization issues when using an external OData v2 service with CAPDates coming out of an external OData v2 service in a shape CAP does not expect, and what to do about it. A narrow bug report with a fix, and the kind of thing that costs an afternoon if nobody has written it down.pieterjanssens, published 2020-07-09
SAP Cloud Application Programming Model: Deep Insert (4) Consume Remote ServiceSAP Cloud Application Programming Model: Deep Insert (4) Consume Remote ServiceFourth in a long series on deep insert, and the one where the target stops being local. Twenty thousand characters, project files linked, and the earlier parts on UUIDs and multi-level structures are prerequisites the author names.CarlosRoggan, published 2019-07-24

SAP Cloud Application Programming Model: Deep Insert (5) Consume Remote Service with SAP Cloud SDKSAP Cloud Application Programming Model: Deep Insert (5) Consume Remote Service with SAP Cloud SDKThe same thing again through SAP Cloud SDK, published as a deliberate comparison with the part before it — the author says outright that it does what the previous post did, differently. Reading both is how you see what the SDK is actually doing for you.CarlosRoggan, published 2019-07-26

SAP Cloud Platform Backend service: Tutorial [11]: CDS : magic: key: generationSAP Cloud Platform Backend service: Tutorial [11]: CDS : magic: key: generationExplains CDS's UUID key type: giving a key property UUID gets its value generated automatically instead of a hand-picked unused number, as data modelling lets an element's type do, at the cost of a 36-character value unfit for a user-facing display. It then works out how that generated value is addressed in a single-entity read URL — bare brackets in OData V4 against the guid'...' literal V2 requires — citing the OData specification for the difference.CarlosRoggan, published 2019-03-15

Adding a Swagger UI to Your SAP Cloud Application Programming Model / Node.js ServiceAdding a Swagger UI to Your SAP Cloud Application Programming Model / Node.js ServiceThe problem stated from the other side of the wire: a CAP and HANA backend consumed by frontend developers with no SAP background, who said in the first meeting that they could not work from what the service offered. A browsable API page is the answer, and this is the post the Swagger UI plugin indexed here exists to serve.published 2020-01-23

New SAP Cloud Application Programming Model Sample for Many-to-Many Relationships and Fiori AnnotationsNew SAP Cloud Application Programming Model Sample for Many-to-Many Relationships and Fiori AnnotationsIntroduces SAP-samples/cloud-cap-hana-swapi, a CAP sample rebuilding the abandoned Star Wars API as a six-entity data model (Films, People, Planets, Species, Starships, Vehicles) chosen for its many-to-many, bi-directional relationships and its use as a Fiori Draft deep-editing test case. The author used CAP's OpenAPI functionality to generate both the Swagger UI test tool and entity diagrams for the data model, alongside the OData services and Fiori preview UI.published 2020-12-21
