Changing the Odata service of WebIDE Archive (FIORI APP)

Question

For reasons of security I cannot use the cloud connector in conjunction with the on premise system which we have. Never the less I am very comfortable using WebIDE in order to create the necessary applications. I create the applications in WebIDE using a .edmx file which represents the on premise ODATA service which i plan to use.

After the application is made. I import the archive and then make necessary modifications to the archive in HANA Studio (inside Java EE perspective).

I am doing things according to this guide: https://www.sap.com/developer/tutorials/hcp-webide-switch-live-odata.html

My understanding is that the manifest.json and neo-app.json are both to be modified pointing to the real ODATA service.

In the manifest.json:

enter image description here

According to the guide above, within the neo-app.json, I need to point it to the gateway.

Here is the information of our on premise system.

System Name: sapewp01.xxxxx.com

localURI: /sap/opu/odata/sap/zbw_odata_q3_srv/

Port: 8012 (i assume, the odata service link works on my end)

SAP Gateway (sapgw12)

Another other required information can be provided on request.

How does one change a web ide app to be able link into an on premise ODATA service, WITHOUT disrupting all the work done on webIDE?

In the sap.app part of the manifest.json can't you just specify?

"dataSources": {
    "myService": {
        "uri": "/sap/opu/odata/sap/zbw_odata_q3_srv/",
        "type": "OData",
        "settings": {
            "odataVersion": "2.0"
        }
    }
}

At least with my experience working in Eclipse, all I had to do was have the URI to create the model. oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel(sServiceUrl, oConfig); but this was using a legacy app, maybe Web IDE does it a different way?
