Configuring a destination for Action Editor

Estimated read time 4 min read

Motivation:

This blog focuses on the concept of destinations available for testing an Action within Action Project.

 

Parent Blog:

Actions Editor – Feature List, Usage and Maintenance of Actions Project | SAP Blogs

 

Concept & Need:

Actions can be executed by using destinations created in the subscriber’s subaccount. Multiple destinations can be created in the cockpit, but not all of them are relevant for an Action Project, so filtering is necessary.

 

Destination Configuration:

In order to make a destination relevant for an Action Project, you should add a additional property “sap.applicationdevelopment.actions.enabled” with a value “true” in the destination configuration. For projects created using a live API source, add another property “sap.build.usage” with the corresponding value from the table below to the destination configuration.

Note: For the projects created using API specification as source, all the destination with “sap.applicationdevelopment.actions.enabled” property as true will be available.

 

Making a Destination available:

To enable a destination for testing an Action in Action Editor, the following process must be followed in control tower.

Navigate to control tower from lobby
