Fiori and external Databases

[Former Member]

Can SAP Fiori and/or SAPUI5 access data from non-SAP databases (e.g. MS SQL for non-SAP usage )? If it is the case, how this could be achieve? With NW Gateway or not?

Thanks!

Yes you can develop that using various methods, both by modifying the Fiori code or building new SAPUI5 apps.  In the end you are dealing with javascript, html, css and you are not limited technically (not sure about any legal or license restrictions) to an SAP backend.  One typical scenario might be to store images, documents etc. outside your SAP system.  In the end you are dealing with an html5 framework that is very flexible.

Hi Daniel,

Yes, you can very much develop UI5 Apps which connects non SAP backend, in this scenario you want to go with oData service you can use SMP 3.0 instead of Netweaver Gateway.
