Documentation

Definition

A method version is a string that allows you to differentiate between versions of an API method of the target platform.

Use

The API methods of the Service Provider could exist in a version /v1/ and the Service Provider issues a new edition /v2/ that you want to test in a sandbox system.

Dependencies

Different method versions can be maintained in view CLBV_PTYPE_VERS and are assigned to a certain target server in view CLBV_PLATF_METH.

In view CLBV_PTYPE_VERS, the method version is connected with a process method class that defines the endpoint (URI). Therefore, different method versions must result in different process method classes.
