Hi Melanie,
when using an oData model, the runtime reads the "metadata" document for the specified oData service. In the example above, when you create the model with the URL "https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZCD204_EPM_DEMO_SRV" the metadata document should be requested with the URL "https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZCD204_EPM_DEMO_SRV/$metadata" which is working fine on my side.
But you are saying that the system tries to follow the link "
https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZCD204_EPM_DEMO_SRV/SalesOrders/$metadata" which produces an error on my side too. Could you please recheck the URL you are using when you instantiate the model?
Regards, Frank
P.S.: Here is a very brief example for accessing sales orders:
var result = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("proxy/https/sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZCD204_EPM_DEMO_SRV");
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(result);
// Create the column templates
var nameColumnTemplate = new sap.ui.commons.TextField({
value: "{CustomerName}"
});
var sumColumnTemplate = new sap.ui.commons.TextField({
value: "{TotalSum}"
});
var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table({ // create Table UI
columns : [ {label: "Name", template: nameColumnTemplate }, {label: "Sum", template: sumColumnTemplate }
]
});
oTable.setModel(result); // bind JSON model to Table
oTable.bindRows({path: "/SalesOrders"} ); // bind the table rows to an array
oTable.placeAt("content"); // place Table onto UI
