Integration of SAP Gateway and SPI

Use

Service Provider Infrastructure (SPI) is an application and User Interface (UI) technology independent layer for business data exposure, which is used across the whole of SAP Business Suite to build timeless software. Integration of SAP Gateway with SPI allows SPI Application Building Blocks to be provisioned as OData services.

The following topics are covered in this section:

Generating an SAP Gateway Service for SPI
