Regenerating Metadata After Customizing Changes
Problem
You performed changes in the BRF+ application and would like to update the OData metadata cache to ensure newly added fields are fully available.
Environment
SAP Gateway, BRF+ Customizing
Reason
The SAP Gateway automatically caches information about all available fields to improve performance. As a consequence of this, whenever new fields are added using BRF+, they will not exist in the Gateway cache yet.
Solution
If your system landscape makes use of Embedded Deployment (i.e. your SAP Backend and SAP Gateway / “Frontend Server” are the same system), metadata should be re-generated by STX PPP automatically whenever relevant BRF+ decision tables are activated.
If your system landscape makes use of Central Hub Deployment (i.e. your SAP Backend and SAP Gateway / “Frontend Server” are running on separate systems) or the automatic generation does not work as expected, proceed with the steps described in “Trigger Metadata Generation Manually”.
Trigger Metadata Generation Manually
- Open transaction
/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICEon the frontend system. - Select /STX/SOL_PPP_SRV
- Press “SAP Gateway Client”
- Press “Metadata” > “Cleanup Cache”
