SAP Netweaver with HANA connection, oData services

[pavlo_denysyuk]

Hi experts,

     We have SAP Netweaver 7.3 SP11 with connection to HANA SP08 . In tranzaction dbacockpit we get message "Database connection established successfully". The idea is to generate oData services on top of HANA and consume them in HCP.

     As I see it :

Install Gateway 2.0 as separated system or on top of SAP NW 7.3. So now we could deal with oData . But would we be able to generate oData on HANA in that way ?

     Thanks in advance.

p.s. Moderator, I am not sure whether this is correct place for current discussion.

Hi Pavlo,

it is a bit difficult to answer your question, as the scenario that you want to cover is not really clear to me.

So I would say that the general question is: How to get a OData service exposed in order to consume it in the HANA Cloud platform?

You describe two scenarios:

Scenario 1: You have an ABAP-based system and want to expose OData Services. Then you need the SAP Gateway in order to do so. You have different deployment options (as you mentioned) that all have some pros and cons and you have to decide which one fits best in your scenario. There is extensive information on that topic in the corresponding SCN space .

Scenario 2: You have a SAP HANA system and want to expose OData services from there (and I would guess from an XS Classic application). Here you do not need additional components, XS already provides the necessary infrastructure to expose OData services in a HANA native environment. More information could be found in the corresponding developer guide (http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Developer_Guide_for_SAP_HANA_Web_Workbench_en.pdf - attention: according to your system you have to go for XS classic - not XS advanced)

So whenever ABAP is needed you also need SAP Gateway to create your OData services. This is not necessary when it comes to HANA native applications
