NetWeaver Gateway
IntegrationDefinition
SAP NetWeaver Gateway is a technology enabling the simplified connection of devices, environments, and platforms to SAP software.
Detailed Description
SAP NetWeaver Gateway is a framework that helps in connecting the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile environments, or any custom applications with SAP systems. It allows developers to interact with SAP applications using the Open Data Protocol (OData), facilitating the access to SAP business data and functionality from any environment or device. This makes it possible to build new applications in SAP or non-SAP environments using any programming language or model, without requiring knowledge of SAP's specific technologies.
Key Features
- Enables OData services to connect from non-SAP applications to SAP systems.
- Facilitates rapid development of user interfaces across devices.
- Simplifies integration with SAP Business Suite.
- Supports RESTful API interfaces.
- Works on both SAP HANA and non-HANA systems.
