• Version: Service version number for API lifecycle management

• Changed on / by: Last modification timestamp and user identifier

OData Service Detail View

Clicking an OData service opens a detailed view showing:

Basic Data section displays:

• Description: Service business description (e.g., "Gateway Service for AGS BPA")

• Address: Complete service endpoint URL for API access

• Version: Service version number for compatibility tracking

Administration section displays:

• Changed on: Last modification timestamp

• Changed by: Service maintainer identifier

Integration Engine

The Integration Engine catalog displays message processing and routing configurations within SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI/PI/PO). This view helps you track integration scenarios, monitor message destinations and manage enterprise application integration flows that enable reliable message exchange between distributed systems and business processes.

What you see:

• Name / Description: Integration scenario identifier with business description below

• Service / Party: Source service or business party information

• Action / Namespace: Integration action with namespace specification

• Destination: Target system or service identifier (clickable)

Integration scenarios support various message patterns including synchronous/asynchronous processing, error handling, and multi-step business process orchestration.

RFC Destinations

The RFC Destinations catalog displays Remote Function Call endpoints for communication between SAP systems and external applications. This view helps you understand system connectivity configurations, track connection types and manage RFC-based integration patterns that enable synchronous function calls across distributed SAP landscapes and third-party systems.
