Meister is Gateway Architects flagship offering: a transactional cache and a real-time trans-compiler platform, which provides real-time data access (in volume) thus traumatically increasing performance, accuracy, analytics capability and timeliness of results. A series of toolsets which dramatically improve SAP performance, accuracy and data accessibility. All founded on a real-time data acceleration and microservices platform.
Components of the Meister Platform
Real-Time Transactional Cache
Meister introduces the concept of predictive caching where the traversal of condition control tables and respective catalog materials is done using its own proprietary algorithms to provide a disruptive solution to the performance challenge of populating external applications with complex, yet dynamic data (like materials pricing and ATP) in realtime upon the start of external transactional process of creating new transaction that involves a consumption of such data (like sales order). Meister also introduces a disruptive approach that includes a preemptive caching engine using “Do Ahead” method where ML-based processes detect first what the usage pattern is of that specific user that just logged into the system. That user has a pattern of creating SAP documents with specific permutations. Based on that discovery the engine will “bucket” preconstructed SAP documents with all relations and related temp tables in place, saving up to 80% of the time to create such documents with ANY volume of line items.
JSON-to/from-ABAP Real-Time Compiler
Way more than “just a connector,” the Meister platform is the foundation for the development of many state-of-the-art applications and 3rd party integrations for SAP users. It easily bolts on to other software offerings and is the only technology that directly connects to the SAP backend. Core to this is a sophisticated and comprehensive real-time cross compiler that compiles REST JSON data to ABAP internal data structures (and vice versa!) for high volume, high-speed data transactions, allowing direct connectivity into your world of web-based applications.
Workflow Monitor & Worklist Acceleration
Workflow enablement is accomplished via Meister’s Workflow Foundation support. Meister provides the toolkit for the enablement of an existing SAP workflow as an endpoint accessible by any UX via the SDK website. Meister provides a class to be added as part of the header of the workflow definition at SAP. Once injected into the header of the workflow, all the events fired by SAP to the runtime instance of the workflow definition are trapped by Meister and provided as part of the development effort for specific needs. By default, six discrete events are trapped by Meister and made available as BADI extensions that are easily enhanced by the ABAP resources. Meister also exposes an endpoint named Meister.MWF.Decider to execute any decision task of workflows whether Meister was injected or not to the workflow definition file.
Highlights of the Meister Platform
- Meister is the first transactional caching engine for SAP, applicable to new and old installations.
- Foundation is a real-time, cross compiler that compiles JSON to ABAP stack for high volume, high-speed data transactions – JTA2, plus a sophisticated predictive and preemptive real-time cache.
- All line of businesses (LOBs) are visible, extensible, streamlined, controlled, secured, and efficiently transferred in a non-intrusive fashion to any choice of UI devices or 3rd party applications.
- Meister can transmit a complex payload with table of tables without limits of size and complexity and completely revolutionizes both inbound/outbound data transactions between SAP backend and any external web service, web API or 3rd party application.
- Meister is fully integrated and resides within the SAP ecosystem (ECC or S/4HANA). No additional services or hardware required.
