Dear all,
has anyone of you tried to access HCI OData Provisioning (Gateway as a Service) from an application running outside SAP HANA Cloud Platform? Examples would be
- Desktop applications (e.g. Excel with Gateway for Microsoft), and
- Applications running in Clouds other than SAP HANA Cloud (e.g. cloud-based Salesforce CRM).
One might want to link those applications to OData Services developed in local Business Suite backend systems without installing and operating three local Gateway Hub systems (Dev / Q / Prod), but using HCI OData Provisioning as Gateway Hub instead.
I´ve got the Impression that it is not possible without defining an app in SAP HANA Cloud Platform - is that correct?
If so, how much effort would it be to set up a "pass-through" app (Java?) in HANA Cloud Platform which has no other purpose but to offer an OData Interface, exactly as a local Gateway Hub system would do?
Thank you & best regards,
Ringo
