The SAP NetWeaver Gateway exposes OData with extensions specific to SAP. Service documents, that describe service interaction and data, allow users to interact with the Gateway runtime, which then interacts with the SAP application suite.
Where an OData source is used as the back-end the application developer does not need to create any model elements (MBO’s) in the tooling but rather inherits a service model from the service document published from SAP Gateway. These OData service documents contain all the information the device developer needs to parse and interact with these data streams.
Sybase Unwired Platform provides administrative facilities for discovering OData service documents and allowing devices to communicate with those enterprise services.
See documentation for SAP NetWeaver and for SAP Gateway for additional information.
