Value-Help Endpoint Migration Guide

This guide documents the breaking migration from legacy value-help helper entities to the new *Values entities.

Summary

Legacy helper entities and service projections were removed in favor of non-colliding *Values artifacts.

If your UI, integration tests, or scripts previously called legacy endpoints, update them using the table below.

Endpoint mapping (OData v4)

StarWarsPlanet service

Base service URL:

• /odata/v4/StarWarsPlanet/

Legacy endpoint (removed)	Replacement endpoint
/odata/v4/StarWarsPlanet/climate	/odata/v4/StarWarsPlanet/climateValues
/odata/v4/StarWarsPlanet/terrain	/odata/v4/StarWarsPlanet/terrainValues

StarWarsSpecies service

Base service URL:

• /odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/

Legacy endpoint (removed)	Replacement endpoint
/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/hair_colors	/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/hairColorValues
/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/eye_colors	/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/eyeColorValues
/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/skin_colors	/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/skinColorValues
/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/classification	/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/classificationValues
/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/designation	/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/designationValues
/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/language	/odata/v4/StarWarsSpecies/languageValues

UI annotation impact

CollectionPath references in CDS annotations were updated accordingly:

• Planet value helps now point to climateValues and terrainValues
• Species value helps now point to classificationValues, designationValues, hairColorValues, skinColorValues, eyeColorValues, languageValues

Compatibility and rollout notes

• This is a breaking contract change for clients that explicitly consumed legacy helper endpoints.
• Core business entities and primary service root endpoints are unchanged.
• If needed, you can temporarily re-introduce compatibility projections in service CDS files as aliases.
