A Practical Guide to SAP Cloud Integration
詳細
This handbook explains the basics of interface modeling with SAP Cloud Integration. In addition to development, this book also focuses on monitoring and the secure operation of these interfaces. You will learn how to use predefined "plug-and-play interfaces” (integration content) and extend them for your own requirements. With the help of detailed step-by-step instructions, you will be able to implement this knowledge in your own SAP Cloud Integration tenant using a practical example of "retrieving and processing currency rates from an internet service" and consolidate what you have learned.
This guide also covers special topics relating to SAP Integration Suite, such as the Partner Directory and add-ons, local deployment, API management, workflow services, and Open Connectors. In addition, this book aims to provide experts with a useful guide to the detailed functionalities of the individual integration patterns. The functions and components of the Cloud Middleware are presented and grouped by area. These include: events, calls, routings, adapters supported by SAP Cloud Integration, and modeling elements for the modification of messages.
- Understand SAP's Cloud Middleware and the Integration Suite
- Quality aspects for a robust design
- Configure standard integration content
- Reference guide for integration patterns

Overview of SAP Business Technology Platform services
For further information about current services and their costs, please refer to: https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/.
Two different editions of SAP CPI are currently available: the Process Integration (PI) edition and the more comprehensive enterprise edition. The PI version includes three connections and ten gigabytes of bandwidth per production environment. One connection is an application, typically an IP address, through which messages are exchanged. Additional connections can be licensed, with additional costs. The enterprise edition, on the other hand, includes additional services (e.g., B2B adapter, covered in Section 8.1, and Enterprise Messaging, see Section 8.6) and is not limited in the number of connections.
Since 2019, SAP has been bundling these rather self-sufficient services under the term SAP Integration Suite (see Figure 2.1). The aim is to improve their coexistence and interaction and to make them easier to market.
SAP Integration Suite is currently licensed in three different editions, each providing a different number of environments:
- Basic—SAP CPI
- Standard—contains the Basic scope including:
- JMS (see Section 4.2.20),
- API Management (see Section 8.5),
- Open Connectors (see Section 8.7)
- Integration Advisor (see Section 8.3)
- Premium—contains the Standard edition including:
- Alert Notification Service (see Section 3.3.3)
- Transport Management Service (see Section 3.6.2)
