Dear Friends,
This is regarding the situations we encounter on any runtime data in SAP.
We have a scenario where by the Consumer ( Client application ) has to set the status of the Order at the Client Side.
Now, the list of available statues ( say, E0001 Open ) would be a "key-value" pair which the client has to select from.
(1) How do we manage "key-value" pairs? ( Create Entity named OrderStatus and request the Client to invoke a Query on OrderStatus?)
(2) How do we manage the "key-value" pairs across multiple entities in the application? ( Status , AddressTypes, ProductTypes, etc etc ) ?
Is there a recommended best practice available for such a case in NetWeaver Gateway?.
Note:
RESTful clients can be chatty ..however, if there are multiple dropdowns in the Client app ...all inter-dependent .. the modeling might need be clever+careful enough to avoid too many client <-> gateway/backend calls?
Many thanks, Suresh
