Introduction:
In this blog we will discuss how can we consume HANA XS-Odata services in ECC system. In this scenario we will set up an RFC connection between HANA and ECC system and the XS Odata services can be consumed. The data coming from the XS-Odata services can be populated in an internal table for further processing.
Prerequisites:
- This scenario has to be implemented in ECC system.
- An RFC connection should exist between HANA and ECC.
Let’s us discuss the steps in detail in order to consume the HANA XS-Odata services.
Step-1: Create an RFC destination in ECC.
In order to connect to HANA server we have to create an RFC connection of type “G”. We need to maintain the below parameters for setting up the connection.
- RFC Destination: Provide RFC destination name.
- Connection Type: G (HTTP Connection to External Serv)
- Description: Provide the description for the connection.
In the Technical setting tab, provide the below details.
- Target Host: IP address of the target system.
- Service No.: Port number.
- Path Prefix: Provide “/”.
In the Logon & Security tab, provide the below details.
1. Select the Basic authentication option under Logon with user and provide the user id and password.
Step-2: Create Function module to consume HANA XS-Odata service.
In this step we will create a function module to consume the XS-Odata service. First of all we need to setup a connection by using the RFC destination created in the previous step. Next, we have to call the desired service (XS-Odata service) which we want to consume in ECC. The HTTP client will send a request and receive call and if the connection does not work out then it will throw an exception.

cl_http_client=>create_by_destination(
EXPORTING
destination = '<RFC Destination Name>'
IMPORTING
client = lo_http_client
EXCEPTIONS
argument_not_found = 1
destination_not_found = 2
destination_no_authority = 3
plugin_not_active = 4
internal_error = 5
OTHERS = 6 ).
lv_service = 'http://<URL>:<PORT>/<Service Namespace>/<Service Name>/<View Name>'
cl_http_utility=>set_request_uri( request = lo_http_client->request uri = lv_service ).
lo_http_client->send(
EXCEPTIONS
http_communication_failure = 1
http_invalid_state = 2 ).
lo_http_client->receive(
EXCEPTIONS
http_communication_failure = 1
http_invalid_state = 2
http_processing_failed = 3 ).
Next we have to prepare the XML data which is coming from the service output.
lv_result = lo_http_client->response->get_cdata( ).
lo_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
lo_streamfactory = lo_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
lo_istream = lo_streamfactory->create_istream_string( lv_result ).
lo_document = lo_ixml->create_document( ).
lo_parser = lo_ixml->create_parser(
stream_factory = lo_streamfactory
istream = lo_istream
document = lo_document ).
Now we have the XML output of the XS-Odata. We need to process each “entry” node in the XML document to collect the data. This will be a recursive approach as we will have several “entry” node in the XML document. In this example I have set a pointer to the very first node in the XML document and then followed a recursive approach to process each “entry” node in the document. Inside “entry” node we have “content” node which contains all the properties defined in the service model. Let’s process the XML document to get the values of each properties.
lif_ixml_node = lo_document->find_from_name( name = 'feed' ).
lif_ixml_node_list = lif_ixml_node->get_children( ).
lif_ixml_node_iterator = lif_ixml_node_list->create_iterator( ).
WHILE NOT lif_ixml_node IS INITIAL.
lv_name = lif_ixml_node->get_name( ).
IF lif_ixml_node->get_name( ) = 'entry'.
lif_ixml_node1 = lif_ixml_node->get_first_child( ).
lif_ixml_node_list1 = lif_ixml_node->get_children( ).
lif_ixml_node_iterator1 = lif_ixml_node_list1->create_iterator( ).
"To Process Entry node in the document
WHILE NOT lif_ixml_node1 IS INITIAL.
lv_name1 = lif_ixml_node1->get_name( ).
IF lif_ixml_node1->get_name( ) = 'content'.
lif_ixml_node2 = lif_ixml_node1->get_first_child( ).
lif_ixml_node_list2 = lif_ixml_node1->get_children( ).
lif_ixml_node_iterator2 = lif_ixml_node_list2->create_iterator( ).
"To Process Properties node in the document
WHILE NOT lif_ixml_node2 IS INITIAL.
lv_name2 = lif_ixml_node2->get_name( ).
IF lif_ixml_node2->get_name( ) = 'properties'.
node = lif_ixml_node2->get_first_child( ).
lif_ixml_node_list3 = node->get_children( ).
"To Process each node under properties node in the document
WHILE NOT node IS INITIAL.
lv_name3 = node->get_name( ).
lv_value = node->get_value( ).
node = node->get_next( ).
ENDWHILE.
lif_ixml_node2 = lif_ixml_node2->get_next( ).
ENDWHILE.
ENDIF.
lif_ixml_node1 = lif_ixml_node_iterator1->get_next( ).
ENDWHILE.
ENDIF.
lif_ixml_node = lif_ixml_node_iterator->get_next( ).
ENDWHILE.
This code will help to consume HANA XS-Odata services in ECC and we can populate the data in ABAP structure.
