ManyareawareofthenicefeatureoftheSAPGatewayMultiOrigin:

SupportofmultiplebackendsystemsHowtouseMultiOriginCompositionandRouting

Andabilitytodynamicallycalculateanalias

ButthereisawaytocontrolitfromUI.InordertoenableitfromFiori/UIsideaspecialinstructionshouldbe
appendedtotheODataserviceURLo=<system_alias>forspecifioriginandmoformultioriginsupport.

AlotofFioriapplicationsusemetadatassap.ca.serviceConfigsconfigpropertytospecifyaservice
configurationdetails.So,commonpracticeistocerateanextensioncomponentandredefinethatproperty:

{
metadata:{
config:{
"sap.ca.serviceConfigs":[{
serviceUrl:"<THE_OLD_URL>;mo/",//formultiorigin
...

Themajorlimitationhereisthatwehavetohardcodeorigin(ormultioriginflag)inthecomponents
code.So,whydontwetrytomakeitdynamicanddrivenbyconfigurationproperty?

Butsurprisinglyitdidntworkandthrowssomenonobviousexception.Aftersomedebuggingwe
foundoutthatapplySettingsexpectsabaseTypepropertyinmetadata:

this.getMetadata().applySettings({metadata:{

Andthatlittletricksolvedtheproblem.

So,nowwecanuseextendedFioriapplicationandspecifyanorigindynamicallyfromcomponent
configuration:MULTIformultipleorigin,andanameofthealiasincaseofparticularorigin.
