A Composite Application using CE VC 711 and Enterprise Services with Clustered Input
The intent of this blog is to share the experience of how Visual Composer (CE 7.1.1 version) is used to create a composite application with two SAP Enterprise Services from an SAP Service Registry. This Composite Application is composed of two data services, two form views, three table views, and absolutely no coding. The biggest challenge was to figure out how to call a enterprise service with clustered data structure for the input. Hope this blog will save a little time for others who will implement similar scenario.
