Create Application Connection

Create an application connection and initially set the application connection settings. Because all application connection settings are optional, the minimal body contains no properties at all. SAP Mobile Platform populates default values as needed.

Syntax

Perform an HTTP POST request at the following URL:

http://host:port/[public/]/odata/applications/{v1|latest}/{appid}/Connections

Parameters

  • appid – The application ID that uniquely identifies the application.

Returns

If successful, a 201 Created status code is returned, and the new application connection settings are included in the response body.
