Use

Back-end gateway is a feature of the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE) that allows you to exchange data between multiple back-ends and mobile devices. To enable back-end gateways in the DOE, you must perform certain tasks in the Data Orchestration Workbench and in the SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator. This section provides information on the steps that you must perform in the Data Orchestration Workbench to implement a back-end gateway:

Steps to Implement a Back-End Gateway

  1. Enable gateways for data objects

    When you create a data object, you must ensure that it is gateway-enabled. You do this by selecting the Gateway-enabled indicator for the particular data object.

  2. Extend the gateway metamodel

    The gateway metamodel allows you to define attributes for a gateway. Gateways are instances of the gateway metamodel. Standard SAP shipped attributes are available in the gateway metamodel. You can extend the gateway metamodel by defining custom attributes.

  3. Define a gateway distribution model.

    A gateway distribution model consists of gateway rules and dependencies that ensure data-object instances are routed to the correct back end. They are similar to the data distribution rules and dependencies.
