Update Oct 11, 2016: with the introduction of Simple (
Friendly) URL to SAP BusinessObjects Cloud in the recent release, significant architectural changes have been brought into the SAP BusinessObjects Cloud (BOC) landscape that have implications on the reverse proxy configuration.

Check out the new blog for more details:

A few months ago, I published a how-to guide on setting up connections from SAP BusinessObjects Cloud to remote SAP HANA systems via SAP Web Dispatcher as a reverse proxy:

If you are new to the topic, take a look at this great article Remote data access security explained written by my colleague greg.wcislo that explains the concept and benefits of live HANA connection.
I hope you will like it. Happy reading :smile:
Till next time.
