Integration Gateway is a service that runs within SAP® Mobile Platform Server, to provide the ability to run mobile applications that connect to various SAP and non-SAP (OData and non-OData) datasources. To build the services, the Gateway Productivity Accelerator includes tools, the Eclipse-based Toolkit for Integration Gateway, for modeling and generating components that are deployed through Integration Gateway.
Integration Gateway includes:
Integration Gateway allows you to connect to different back ends, fetch data at runtime, and convert it into OData models to expose data as an OData service using:
The data model developer uses the Toolkit for Integration Gateway provided with Gateway Productivity Accelerator to model and generate services. The data model developer harmonizes different data models, structures, values, and so on, into a single OData model to be provisioned as an OData service.
The application developer can use the OData services exposed by Integration Gateway to develop mobile applications that use customer data and business information from various datasources. The application may combine data from these sources (Web services, JDBC content, JPA models, and so on), executing processes that cross enterprise system boundaries.
