Transformers

XSKOData2ODataHTransformer

Uses the OData2ODataHTransformer.transform() method. The xsodata modification artifacts are converted to odata artifacts. See the table for the supportable operations.

xsodata modification artifacts	convert to odata
create using	on
forbidden	forbid
before	before
after	after
precommit	not supported
postcommit	not supported

Example of .xsodata will generated the following OData2ODataHTransformer

"sample.odata::table1"
      update events (before "sample.odata::beforeMethod", precommit "sample.odata::beforeMethod")
      delete events (after "sample.odata::afterMethod")
      create forbidden;

| ODATAH_METHOD | ODATAH_TYPE | ODATAH_HANDLER             |
|---------------|-------------|----------------------------|
| update        | before      | sample.odata::beforeMethod |
| delete        | after       | sample.odata::afterMethod  |
| create        | fordid      | N/A                        |

Example of .xsodata will generated the following OData2ODataHTransformer

     create using "sample.odata::createMethod"
     update events (precommit "sample.odata::precommitMethod")
     delete forbidden;

| ODATAH_METHOD | ODATAH_TYPE | ODATAH_HANDLER             |
|---------------|-------------|----------------------------|
| create        | on          | sample.odata::createMethod |
| delete        | fordid      | N/A                        |

XSKOData2ODataMTransformer

Dirigible Odata supports the following Multiplicity values: ZERO_TO_ONE("0..1"), MANY("*"), ONE("1");

XSODATA Multiplicity '1..' is converted to '', because '1..*' is not supported from odata.

XSKOData2ODataMTransformer rely on ForeignKey definitions on DB side. if there are no ForeignKey constraint between tables in the DB, then all navigations must be defined inside .odata file, otherwise no navigations will be exposed though the odata service.

Inside xsodata file we can specify which properties can be exposed using the 'with' and 'without' section:

service namespace "np"{
   "sample.odata::table1" as "Table1" without ("COLUMN1");
   "sample.odata::table2" as "Table2" with ("COLUMN1", "COLUMN2");
}

XSODATA Supportability	Annotation Element	Parameter Name	Parameter Value	The following values are supported in the following cases

:x:			parameters	if the entity type represents input parameters for a calculation view
:x:	edm:EntitySet	sap:addressable	TRUE	Default Value is true
:x:			FALSE	“false” if the entity set represents either a calculation view or input parameters for a calculation view.
:x:		sap:creatable	TRUE	Default Value is true
:heavy_check_mark:			FALSE	The "create forbidden" setting is defined for the entity set in the OData service definition (.xsodata) file
:x:			FALSE	The entity set represents a database view, for example, a table or a calculation view.
:x:			FALSE	The entity set represents input parameters for a calculation view.
:x:			FALSE	“aggregation” is defined for the entity set, for example, using the “aggregates always” expression in the OData service definition (.xsodata) file.
:x:		sap:updatable	TRUE	Default Value is true
:heavy_check_mark:			FALSE	The "update forbidden" setting is defined for the entity set in the OData service definition (.xsodata) file
