Integrating ECC Workflows in SAP UI5 without gateway

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Whether it is possible to integrate ECC Workflows in SAP UI5 without Netweaver Gateway?

I have gone through below discussions and blogs, but all mention about using netweaver gateway services.

Hi Ajay,

SAPUI5 application are based on model view controller (MVC) concept. Model holds the data from the backend/database. Per the guide - SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit the preferred way to get data from database is OData model through Gateway system.

Also per the mentioned thread - ,service - /sap/opu/odata/IWPGW/TASKPROCESSING is a odata model

Hence you would need a Netweaver Gateway system to  build UI5 applications which interact with ECC workflow.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ajay,

You don't need any Netweaver Gateway services to get the data in your SAPUI5 application.

But it's preferable, because it gives you features directly out of the box.

Instead of a Netwaver Gateway you can use any service that produces json/oData.

What you could create for example is an ABAP REST Service within your ECC.

I think the following tutorials should help you:
