Hi all,
I have a (at least for now) hypothetical question:
Is it possible to call an external (preferably REST) web service from HANA?
Let me elaborate. Say, company Enterprise has a back-end application Vulcan which for some reason or another cannot be deployed on HANA directly (f.e. a DLL file,...).
Company Enterprise uses HANA and all their data resides in their HANA system.
Now, developer Spock gets the assignment to "link" application Vulcan to SAP HANA application Klingon.
More specifically, app Klingon should, in one way or another, fetch data from the HANA db, provide it to app Vulcan which in it's turn returns data back to Klingon.
Vulcan exists as a REST web service.
Is Spock screwed or does he remain his cool?
(if REST is not possible, SOAP is also an option)
