This space is dedicated to SAP users - administrators and programmers who want to integrate PTV Developer (native), the PTV xServers or the SAP Hana Spatial Services (HSS). Topics which require specific SAP based knowhow or which deal with SAP based mechanisms will be collected here.
as announced in december 2024 the SAP Hana Spatial Services offer PTV Logistics as a new backend provider alternative.
Here's a short comparison of the benefits PTV offers compared to the other providers:
The integration of the PTV provider is based on the PTV Developer API - if you spot a parameter / feature within the native PTV Developer API which you want to use in SAP HSS but which is not available: LET US KNOW! We can forward that info to SAP's HSS team.
