• Open your mobil services by follwoing this tutorial: https://wpb101102.hana.ondemand.com/wpb/wa/mobile_platform/~tag/published/index.html?show=project!PR...

 

1. Now to make the es4 available in your trial account click on destination and there click on the new button.


2. Give the new destination a name


3. Paste the URL of the es4 service you want to use (“https://sapes4.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/IWFND/RMTSAMPLEFLIGHT/") into the URL field.


4. Select basic Authentication as that is the simplest to use for development.


5. Enter your SAP Cloud Platform credentials


6. And click next and Finish.
