Embedded hub Deployment — Development in SAP Business Suite Backend System

Advantages

Easy reuse of content in SAP Business Suite backend system. We can reuse structures from the backend system and access local business logic.

Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) as we do not require a separate SAP NetWeaver Gateway system.

Considerations

The life cycle of SAP NetWeaver Gateway content is dictated by the frequency of updates in the SAP Business Suite backend system.

We must integrate the consuming application or infrastructure with the SAP Business Suite system on a point-by-point basis. Cross-system composition is not advisable.

Central SAP NetWeaver Gateway content is not available. Backend-specific content is used in the SAP Business Suite backend system.

Cons

If multiple SAP Business Suite systems are used Gateway would have to be configured multiple times.

Note − Embedded hub deployment is not recommended by SAP especially for a customer with multiple backend. This scenario is used for sandbox purposes only.
