Hybrid configuration to access a on-prem ERP service

The hybrid configuration introduces the Secure Gateway service to cross the on-prem boundaries.

  • The ERP Service Broker exposes the ERP Service API. It handles the connection with the Secure Gateway to reach the on-prem ERP service. To the outside world, the ERP Service Broker is just another ERP service.
  • The ERP is sitting on-prem behind the Secure Gateway. It can be a real ERP system or the ERP simulator.

Deploying the ERP Service Broker with the ERP Simulator

In this scenario, we deploy the ERP Service Broker as one Cloud Foundry application. The on-prem ERP is deployed as a Virtual Server. It runs the Secure Gateway client, an ERP simulator and a local database.
