SAP adapters

Your IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation applications can communicate with SAP Netweaver Gateway back-end services using SAP adapters. Using HTTP rest calls and the OData protocol, applications can remotely create, retrieve, update, and delete entities through the adapter.

For information about using the Service Discovery Wizard, see Generating adapters with the services discovery wizard

• Start an SAP adapter
  We can create, retrieve, update, delete, and analyze Entities that exist on an SAP system using the MobileFirst SAP adapter.

• Configure an SAP adapter for user-based authentication
  To configure an SAP adapter for user-based authentication, you edit the authenticationConfig.xml configuration file.

• Configure an SAP adapter with a system user
  We can connect to an SAP back end with a system user. However, you should use user-based authentication for most scenarios. Check the SAP license terms.
