Good one Rajeesh.
I just tried creating a sample application following the above mentioned steps.But after selecting the Service Url from the sources I'm not able to find the service in the dropdown even after typing the Url there. How should I find it?

Thanks Rajeesh.
If you are using latest version of sapui5.You can set the model in manifest.json under models section by following code
after adding the service to the app
"models": {"" : {"dataSource": "<servicename>"}If you are a beginner to sapui5 visit

Hello Ramya
I am newbie to SAP UI5. What is the importance of selecting the 1.28 version only here?
As you have said, even my destination got displayed under the service drop down after I selected the version 1.28.
