Hi SAP Experts,
There are multiple ways to consume actions not available in the store in the SAP Build Process Automation.
S/4 HANA On-Premise or ECC based Custom Odata services
can be accessed by the below two ways with the Core Clean principle using the Side-by-Side Extension scenarios.
I have explored the different possibilities to expose the S/4 HANA On-Premise Custom OData services to the SAP Build platform since there are challenges exposing the Odata directly from S/4 HANA On-Premise to SAP build.
How to create actions on the SAP build?
SAP BTP ABAP RAP ( RESTful ABAP Programming Model )using the side-by-side extension scenario:
-
Create a Custom Entity and call either the backend RFC function modules or API classes from SAP S/4 HANA to perform the functionality.
-
Create the Service binding as shown below.
-
Copy the URL and get the metadata for the same.
-
Create a Odata Open API using the open source
https://convert.odata-openapi.net/
by pasting the Metadata.
-
There are also other open API converters in GitHub for the On-Premise system; however, they are more specific to the SICF nodes and do not work for the BTP ABAP-based Odata services.

-
Copy the same and save in a file with Extension .json
-
-
Once you click on the create button, the below screen appears to select the required actions:
How to Test the Actions:
-
First, Create a destination for the Odata service using the BTP Destinations and add the parameters as shown below.
-
sap.applicationdevelopment.actions.enabled:
true
-
sap.processautomation.enabled: true
-
Add the destination in the BTP Build
