Developer extendibility for custom table and publish oDATA

[saurabh_shukla4]

Hi,

In case of on stack (developer extension) it is mentioned that we have to use local released stable APIs, extension points. Is it possible that we develop own service using custom table and publish it as oData (API) and then consume it anywhere? I have s4hana public cloud.

What I want to achieve is, create z table (custom object) and data will be stored, fetched and changed in the same table. The service will be created of the same table and then API (oDATA) will be published at s4hana public cloud.

Appreciate any help,

SS

In S/4HANA Public Cloud, you can use Custom Business Object App to create a custom table and expose it as OData service.

Do I have to create cds view and expose service after that?

my opinion, when it comes to custom tables, opting for RAP over CBO is preferable. CBO has certain limitations, whereas RAP offers greater flexibility for incorporating additional features in the future.

@saurabh_shukla4 Yes, but you don't need to define CDS views yourself. Simply define necessary data model in the app and create OData service by checking "Service Generation". CDS views and an OData service will be automatically generated.
