Based on the Blog series published by masoud.aghadavoodijolfaei:
ABAP Channels Part 1: WebSocket Communication Using ABAP Push Channels
ABAP Channels Part 2: Publish/Subscribe Messaging Using ABAP Messaging Channels
ABAP Channels Part 3: Collaboration Scenario Using ABAP Messaging and ABAP Push Channels
Specification of the Push Channel Protocol (PCP)
I've created an SAPUI5 Demo application using the ABAP Push Channel (APC, WebSockets) and ABAP Messaging Channel (AMC). To benefit from the WebSocket technology in your browser please check the support matrix at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket#Browser_implementation. At the ABAP Backend I've used a NetWeaver ABAP Application Server 7.40 SP8.
ABAP Push Channel
Let's define the ABAP Push Channel first. Check out the above mentioned Blog's for details:

ABAP Messaging Channel
For the ABAP Messaging Channel it is important to define the Authorized Programs:
HCP Git to GitHub
This is just to document how to bring an app developed in SAP Web IDE from the HCP Trial Git repository to GitHub. I've used the following steps adopted from the documentation:
Adding an existing project to GitHub using the command line - User Documentation
First of all clone the HCP Git repository to the local system and switch to the new folder:
git clone https://<HCP Username>@git.hanatrial.ondemand.com/<HCP Accountname>/<HCP GIT Repository Name>
cd apcecho/
Now create a new repository on GitHub and add this repository. I've named it "github":
git remote add github https://github.com/gregorwolf/apcecho.git
As I've created some files (Readme, License) in the GitHub Repository this files have to be pulled from the repository:
git pull github
And merged with the master:
git merge github/master
Then push the changes to both repositories:
git push github master
git push origin master
SAPUI5 Frontend
I've used the SAPUI5 Application Template in SAP Web IDE to bootstrap my app. You can get the source at:
You can use the Project SAPUI5-Deployer by graham.robinson to import this Git repository directly into your ABAP stack.
That's for the moment. Looking forward for your feedback.
