Providing Odata service based on service operation execution flow

A computer system for providing an Odata service based on a service operation execution flow, comprising:

• a computer memory to store program code;
• and
• a processor to execute the program code to:
• convert a data source metadata to an entity data model;
• based on the entity data model, generate the service operation execution flow that displays a process for executing a service operation;
• receive one or more runtime configuration data to edit the generated service operation execution flow, wherein the edited service operation execution flow defines a communication between a data source and a client requesting execution of the service operation;
• save the edited service operation execution flow and the entity data model;
• and
• based on the edited service operation execution flow and the entity data model, publish the Odata service to process a client request for executing the service operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• convert a data source metadata to an entity data model;
• based on the entity data model, generate a service operation execution flow that displays a process for executing a service operation;
• receive one or more runtime configuration data to edit the generated service operation execution flow, wherein the edited service operation execution flow defines a communication between a data source and a client requesting execution of the service operation;
• save the edited service operation execution flow and the entity data model;
• and
• based on the edited service operation execution flow and the entity data model, publish an Odata service to process a client request for executing the service operation.
