My task is to (using Java):
- Call OData v2 service by a given URL (e.g. "<domain_URL>:/sap/TRUI_TU_ CFP_MAINT_02");
- Find the entity "xBTLxTRP_TU_CFP" and its property "CapEngine";
- Retrieve the value for the property "CapEngine";
- Change the current value of the property "CapEngine" from "15.000" to "22.000" and then to post the changes back to server.
I was able to implement steps from 1 to 3 successfully. But I need a solution on how to correctly implement the last step 4 (i.e. first to set the desired value, and then to post changes).
The OData entity schema looks like this:
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<id>...</id>
<title type="text">...</title>
<updated>...</updated>
<category .../>
<link href="..." rel="edit" title="xBTLxTRP_TU_CFPType" />
<content type="application/xml">
<m:properties>

</m:properties>

</entry>
Here is the Java code for steps from 1 to 3:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String serviceUrl = "https://ldcioid.devsys.net.sap:44300/sap/opu/odata/BTL/TRUI_TU_CFP_MAINT_O2";
String entitySet = "xBTLxTRP_TU_CFP/?sap-client=200";
String propertyToUpdate = "PropertyName";
ODataV2EntityIterator entityIterator = new ODataV2EntityIterator(serviceUrl, entitySet);
try {
for (ClientEntity entity : entityIterator) {
// Access entity properties as needed
String value1 = entity.getProperty("ObjectNr").getValue().toString();
if (value1.equals("IEIKLWARC")) {
System.out.println("Object Number 'IEIKLWARC' was found.");
for (ClientProperty prop : entity.getProperties()) {
Object propertyValue = prop.getName();
if (propertyValue.equals("EngineCap")) {
System.out.println("The value of 'EngineCap' property is: " + entity.getProperty(prop.getName()).getValue());
}
}
}
//iterate through each property of the current entity and read the property's name and value
for (ClientProperty prop2 : entity.getProperties()) {
System.out.println(prop2.getName().toString() + ": " + entity.getProperty(prop2.getName()).getValue());
}
System.out.println("-----------------------");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error while reading the properties of xBTLxTRP_TU_CFP entity: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
The $metadata for the odata service can be viewed by this link: https://github.com/alexgris/odate_edmx/blob/main/README.md?plain=1
So, the long story short, I need a solution on how to correctly implement the last step 4 (i.e. first to set the desired value for an entity property, and then to post changes).
