The capability to associate a single SAP Fiori elements application with multiple backend services through distinct bindings offers a flexible approach to data integration. This configuration allows the application to display and interact with information originating from disparate sources without requiring extensive custom coding. For instance, an application designed to manage customer orders might retrieve customer details from one service and order information from another.
This approach provides several advantages. Primarily, it simplifies application development by leveraging existing services and reducing the need for complex data aggregation logic within the application itself. Furthermore, it enhances modularity and maintainability, as changes to one service binding do not necessarily impact the others. Historically, applications often required significant custom code to consolidate data from multiple backends, making them more complex and less adaptable.
