Bizagi SAP Cloud Platform Dispatcher

Released on 05/05/23

Description

The Dispatcher is a component used to route user requests to microservices deployed on the Cloud Foundry platform. It is the single point of entry for an application running in the Cloud Foundry environment into SAP BTP. The Application Router or Dispatcher is used to serve static content, authenticate users, rewrite URLs, and forward or send proxy requests to other microservices.

 

In the specific case of Bizagi, the Dispatcher is used to route requests to the destinations configured in the SAP BTP platform, allowing to build requests to the Odata layer exposed by the client's SAP system.
