Connect HCPms to 3rd party backend system

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I would like to connect the HCPms to a 3rd party backend system and use a REST service from it.

What would be the best way to do it?

Regards,
Georgi

Discussion successfully moved from SAP for Mobile to SMP Developer Center as the more appropriate community for this topic.

You could use SAP Mobile Platform Integration Gateway to expose the REST service as oData and then consume the oData service through HCPms.  Details on Integration Gateway can be found at Enabling REST Services as OData Services - Data Integration using Integration Gateway - SAP Library.

Hi Kevin,

what you are saying is true, but the Integration Gateway is not part of the HCPms, it could be used only with the on-premise version of the platform, and this is not my case

Hi George

I have recently come across one of slides on HCPMS at Brainshark which says that Hana Cloud Integration Services can be used with HCPMS instead of IG on SMP 3.0 On premise.



I also recall one of the sessions in Tech Ed bangalore / Las vages ( INT103) which mentioned that Integration Gateway is also included in other products of SAP apart from SMP 3.0 .


Please also Check SAP PO 7.4 and SAP HCI products if your task can be achieved with IG services included in there.instead of SMP 3.0 .

Hi Georgie

You are right that IGW is not part of HCPms.

Currently there is no solution available (similar to IGW) to convert a non-Odata service to Odata service that could be used with HCPms. You have to find your own way to create Odata service from a non Odata source. ex. create Odata service from SOAP using open libraries.

The solution mentioned by Virinchy is not available yet. I am afraid to give more information in this.

Hi there,

just to make sure we are on the same page.

You can use HCPms to connect to your REST-based backend (e.g. if it's providing a JSON-based API) without the need for HCI or any "integration" products. HCPms is able to route non-OData. Anyhow, you would definitely lack the offline capabilities, since they rely on OData. But other features, like Hybrid App Lifecylce (AppUpdate, Remote logging....) are still valuable.

Hi Midhun,

Any updates on this functionality? Is it now possible to connect to non-SAP systems through HCPms?

Thanks.
