System to system interaction through gateway

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm building an mobile/desktop application with SAPUI5 -> Gateway ->HANA as the architecture.

Now apart from the end user inputs I have a scenario where I will get data from a system.

Is system to system interaction via OData services acceptable?

I know we traditionally use SAP PI for system - system integration.

But I do not have PI here.

So can you please tell me whether I can use OData services for this? If not I will do a direct file upload via the application layer.

Thanks

Hi Shakthi,

Assuming that you are talking about OData as the means of transport at both ends, you may want to look at OCSI.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your inputs.

I will explain my scenario in detail.

I will have to upload data from a file created by an external application into my HANA db tables.

But this does not have to go through the UI.

So Im wondering what would be the best way to load this data.

Would it be better to ask the application to ftp it to a server and create an ABAP program to write it to DB table or create a OData service to which I would ask them to invoke and provide data?

Thanks

Shakthi
