configure-serialization

By default, URLs in the multipart representation of a request are serialized to a path relative to the service, e.g.:

GET /sap/opu/odata/sap/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER/A_BusinessPartnerAddress HTTP/1.1

However, some services might only understand URLs relative to the entity or even absolute URLs.

To configure the serialization of the URLs within a batch request, you can set the subrequest path type with withSubRequestPathType. You can either set it to 'relativeToService', as is the default, 'relativeToEntity', which will yield URLs relative to the entity, or 'absolute', which will produce absolute URLs. See below for examples:

Serialize subrequest path relative to entity:

// GET /A_BusinessPartnerAddress HTTP/1.1
batch(...requests).withSubRequestPathType('relativeToEntity');

Serialize subrequest path as absolute URL:

// GET https://my-s4.system.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER/A_BusinessPartnerAddress HTTP/1.1
batch(...requests).withSubRequestPathType('absolute');
