SAP CPI - Cloud Platform Integration
SAP HANA Cloud Platform Integration comprises design-time and runtime environments for integration spanning on-premises SAP landscapes and SAP in the cloud, as well as other types of software. It’s built with open source technologies. The design-time environment is based on the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It enables an integration developer to construct integration flows by configuring, defining and monitoring their creations.
The CPI runtime, hosted on SAP HANA Cloud, makes integration possible using most of the common integration/messaging protocols. It handles message processing, transformation and routing for SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and the SAP “Intermediate Document” IDOC format, which is used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
Other protocols include the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), which forms the basis of many modern application integration projects and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). CPI runtime also works with HTTP, SuccessFactors, which is used in HR and Open Data Protocol (OData). OData is used with RESTful APIs, which have become the de facto standard in modern application integrations.
According to SAP, CPI includes a web user interface (UI) that serves the needs of the typical, varied group of stakeholders involved in an integration project. These include the content author, who has system knowledge and is responsible for creating an integration flow based on a particular business use case. The Line of Business (LOB) stakeholder needs the UI to help him or her review the different integration scenarios and flows to decides which best fit with the use case. Integration developers need the UI to configure the integration flow and put it into production on the runtime environment. Then, there are admins who have to monitor the state of the integration flow and the messages they process.
