Why is it recommended to do OData V4 development from ADT instead of SEGW in SAP GUI?

Hello Gurus,

Recently one of my client's S/4 platform is upgraded to latest 1909. Client is asking from us to start development in OData V4 instead of V2.

Doing research on OData V4, I found out that it is not recommended to use SEGW for V4 developments. We should do development using ADT in eclipse. Why is this not recommended from SEGW? Is this recommendation still valid?

I have gone through the OSS Note - https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2485370 but still I am not clear on the reason in detail. Because, ultimately from SEGW, system is going to create the model and data classes and other artifacts, just like same as we do manually in ADT.

NOTE> FYI, I don't have much knowledge on ABAP RESTfull Programming model, I just start exploring it.

Thanks in advance!! 🙂

Many Thanks / Himanshu Gupta
