The following enhancements simplify and accelerate the implementation process using the OData ChannelGenerators for Frameworks:Service Provider Interface (SPI) is the name of an internal framework used in the WebDynpro-based version of SAP PLM or SAP EAM and several other modules GENIL / BOL (SAP CRM)
GW-runs-with-HANA: Access from a GW Hub to a HANA system. Reading Metadata from HANA. Either enriching GW objects by HANA Query results as property value or binding HANA Objects into a GW objects tree /Servcie document.Productization planned for SP3 with a likeliness to be distributed over SP3 and SP4

What is SPI ?The Service Provider Infrastructure (SPI) is an application and UI technology independent layer for business data exposure which is used across the whole Business Suite to build timeless software. It works as the backbone for different feeder technologies like GUIBBs, POWLs and Adobe Forms and offers an FPM integration. Comment: Here Web Dynpro is meantThe SPI handles huge amounts of data with a great performance and no additional buffering while being minimal invasive to the underlying implementation (arbitrary data repositories can easily be connected). Every application that is using the SPI can – out of the box – either run the UI and the backend on the same system or run the UI on a system in the DMZ and the backend on a second system behind the firewall, which is needed in an internet collaboration scenario. Also dynamic backends can be accessed via the SPI, which for example do not have a static DDIC representation of their data structures or which even change their metadata at runtime.Furthermore the SPI offers a central enhancement spot which can be used by customers or partners to enhance the application backend modification free.Source: https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/SPI/Service+Provider+Infrastructure+%28SPI%29 It is important to highlight that the SPI framework allows to implement DMZ scenarios where for example an “empty” PLM system is placed in the DMZ that talks to the productive PLM system in the intranet.What comes with Gateway:With Gateway for all SPI objects Odata services can be generated
The BAdI offers following enhancement possibilities: Ø handling of own (new) nodes and/or actions Ø modifying/enhancing SAP implementations (e.g. enriching node data) Ø replacing SAP Service Provider implementation with own logic/coding
