What Are REST & OData?

OData with SAP Annotations

REST

Metadata Repository

Service Adaptation

Supportability Monitoring Security

Based on industry standards Offers database like access to business data

OData + SAP Extensions

“ODBC for the Web” No knowledge of SAP structures required: Supports object navigation Dynamic binding takes place at run time REST-based architecture Uses the standard GET, PUT, POST & DELETE Stateless apps

OData Atom Publishing Protocol Atom Syndication Format

Gateway Model Types (simplified view)

Relative Complexity User-Centric Exposure Model Consumable model, derived from a PSM and optimized for an specific use case (mobile, web, embedded)
