- How to create an Entity via the MAIF Config Panel using the MAIF Low Code Handler
Prerequisites
- Access to the MAIF Config Panel transaction /SYCLO/CONFIGPANEL
- Note 3634246
Steps
Create an Entity supporting input or configured data filters via the MAIF Config Panel (no code required).
Intro
In this mission you will add an Entity to your SAP Service and Asset Manager service via the MAIF Config Panel using the MAIF Low Code Handler.
Features
Use up to 5 input filters in online requests. Sample URI: /sap/opu/odata/MERP/SAP_ONLINE_LOOKUP_EXT_<#>/ZFlights?$filter=FlightNumber eq ‘0790’ and Date ge datetime'2024-07-11T00:00:00’
Define up to 5 oMDO Data Filters.
Use Case
Offline: Expose configuration data or small data sets designed to be used with data filters only requiring periodic refresh (no exchange).
Online: Expose data designed to be used with input filters (data filters optional).
Limitations
The Low Code Handler inherits from the Basic Handler which supports the Basic Process Flow only.
- Does not support: Exchange, Delta Calculation, or Paging
The database tables are stored as a filter of the oMDO.
