    Association and Navigation in Odata Service - SAP Netweaver Gateway

    Associations define relationships between entity types and are grouped into association sets. Navigation properties allow entities to reference their associations, such as a sales header entity associated with its related sales item entities based on a common key field. To create an association, first define entity types and sets, then create an association based on a common field between the entities. This generates an association set and navigation properties to represent the relationship between the entities.

    What is meant by Association and Navigation Property?

    Associations define the relationship between two or more Entity Types.


    Instances of associations are grouped in Association Sets.

    Navigation Properties are special properties on Entity Types which are


    bound to a specific association and can be used to refer to associations
    of an entity.
    How to do it?

    Association based
    Sales Header Entity on Key
    Sales Item Entity
    Type
    Type
    Create a New Project. Create an Entity Type along with Entity Set.
    Create one more Entity type which has a common field with the previous Entity type. Example : Vbeln.
    Right click on the Association Folder and create based on the Common field between the 2 entity sets. i.e
    Vbeln. Once Association is created then it will show in the Navigation properties of the Entity set from which
    we made Association.
    Association Set is also created along with the Association. Referantial Constraints will have the key field based
    on which we created Association.
    Create GetEntity(Read)/ GetEntitySet(Query) service operations for each EntitySet based on the RFC that we
    want to implement and Map it.
