You need to get access to the public gateway system. Please [Create an Account on the SAP Gateway Demo System.] (https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/gateway-demo-signup.html)

Once you have successfully created an account in the SAP gateway demo system, use the credentials and configure the destination in SAP BTP account. Refer to the prerequisites to Configure BTP Destinations in SAP Build Process Automation

   Code Copy

   let url = "/sap/opu/odata/iwbep/GWSAMPLE_BASIC/SalesOrderSet('" + SalesOrderNumber + "')";
   
   return {
     'method': 'GET',
     'url': url ,
     'responseType':'json', // parse the body of the result as a JSON object
     'resolveBodyOnly':true // get only the body of the response
   };

   

6. Now link the Input parameter of the automation Sales Order ID to the Input parameter of the Custom script Sales Order Number.

   

7. Drag and drop the activity Call Web Service with Destination.

8. Map the parameters as shown below.

   The value for destination parameter can be maintained after successful completion of the tutorial Create Destination as mentioned in Prerequisites

11. Link the Input parameter message of the Log Message activity to the Output parameter of the Call Web Service with Destination activity to see the results.

    

12. Save the automation. The final automation looks as below.

    

1. Refer to the tutorial on how to release and deploy the Process.

2. When you deploy the Process, enter the value for the Destination.

   The value for the destination parameter would appear only after successful completion of the tutorial Configure BTP Destinations in SAP Build Process Automation as mentioned in Prerequisites.
