a system called Netweaver Gateway Server. Here we are able to write all database
 queries and other back-end side logic. All records will come to Front -end from
Netweaver Gateway.

elements with the intention to show in browsers and in every other device.

System Connection:

statistics from SAP systems and generates OData service within the format of XML,
JSON or XSL. SAPUI5 the front -end programs will generate OData or Https
requests from the front-end and request for the records.

For the request, that generated information could be serviced. After getting data
from Netweaver Gateway services UI5 application will display information in the
form of UI Elements which include forms, graphs, tables etc...
