Back-end system Support

An Agentry application instance can synchronize data between one or more back-end systems for a single application.

With respect to enterprise system integration, an application can synchronize production data with a single system, or with multiple back-end systems of varying types.

A single application can synchronize data with:

  • A database system using SQL

  • A Web server, by making CGI requests and receiving structured XML data in return

  • The Windows host system on which the Agentry server is running

  • A Java API, using the JVM

  • An SAP back-end system that supports Java Connector (JCo) technology

Each Agentry application instance can also connect to multiple back-end systems, including the systems listed in this topic. The ability to connect to multiple back-end systems and system types allows for data synchronization from disparate systems for mobile application end users.

You can use Connector Studio, which is part of the Agentry, to configure connectivity to WSDL or SQL systems. You can use the Agentry SDKs to develop custom code that provides connectivity logic for setting up back end connections. For example, you can use the Agentry 'steplet' APIs to write SAP back end interface code that connects the Agentry application to ABAP. You can make connections to multiple back-end systems using both custom code and Connector Studio configuration for access through a single application.
