Use the Sample OData Service for Mobile Apps

In SAP Mobile Services for development and operations cockpit, navigate to Developer.

To view the service information, click the URL next to Root URL.

To view the schema metadata for the service, click the URL next to Metadata URL.

In order to use the sample service, you need to generate some sample data first.

1. Click the Generate sample sales order button to generate 10 sample sales orders.

2. Click the Generate sample purchase order button to generate 10 sample purchase orders

Every click on each button will add another 10 sample orders to the Sample OData service.

Navigate to Applications, and next to the com.sap.tutorial.demoapp.Demo application, click the Action button, and select Configure.

Under the Information tab, make sure Security Configuration is set to Basic:

Switch to the Back End tab and define a connection to the sample OData service URL:

At panel SSO Mechanism, set the authentication method to Basic Authentication:

For the SSO Mechanism for the sample OData service, you can choose between Basic Authentication or App2AppSSO. In one of the next tutorials, we will use the SAP BTP SDK Assistant for iOS to create an application based on this Sample OData service, and since the SAP BTP SDK Assistant for iOS currently only supports Basic Authentication, we will use the Basic Authentication setting.

Mark the checkbox next to Basic Authentication, and click the Edit button to the right. A dialog is shown, and enter your SAP Mobile Services for development and operations login credentials

Click Save to close the dialog.

Click Save to store the back-end configuration.

For now, this complements this tutorial step. In the following tutorials, you will actually query the OData service and display the results.
