FND – 62 – Create outbound destination for content publisher

This document explains how to execute step 2.

When a mobile user subscripes for push notification, he/she basically informs SAP Gateway to receive updates on a collection. As Gateway handles subscriptions in a pretty abstract way, the user needs to inform some information during the subscription process. One of these informations is the communication channel. This channel corresponds to a HTTP destination created at the HUB system.
SAP Help

A user subscribing will pass the following channel information to Gateway: urn:sap-com:channel:<CHANNEL_NAME>/<unique_ID_of_device

The first part (urn:sap-com:channel) is used by OData as a keyword to filter and extract the name of the channel. The channel name is a HTTP destination created in SM59. I’ll use SMP_PUSH. This implies that you can have several push destinations for a single SAP Gateway system.

No SPRO activity
