# Sap Integration Cloud

> This skill handles SAP BTP integration platform tasks across SAP Integration Suite (CPI - Cloud Platform Integration), SAP Datasphere (formerly DWC), Cloud Connector, OData services, API Management, Event Mesh, Open Connectors, iFlow design (REST, SOAP, IDoc, SuccessFactors, S/4 OData), error handling, certificate management, monitoring, message reprocessing, Datasphere Spaces, views, federation, replication, S/4 ABAP CDS exposure, BTP destinations, and Pre-packaged Integration Content. Use whenever the user mentions CPI, Integration Suite, iFlow, Datasphere, DWC, Cloud Connector, API Management, Event Mesh, OData, IDoc cloud, ABAP CDS exposure, or any cloud integration.

# sap-integration-cloud — Integration Suite + Datasphere

## 1. Environment Intake Checklist

1. **Integration scope** — CPI (Cloud Platform Integration) / Datasphere / API Mgmt / Event Mesh?
2. **Source/Target** — S/4 (Cloud/OnPrem) / SuccessFactors / Ariba / 3rd party?
3. **Protocol** — REST / SOAP / OData / IDoc / SFTP / JDBC?
4. **Authentication** — OAuth / Basic / Certificate / SAML?
5. **Specific issue** — iFlow design, error handling, perf, certificate, monitoring?

## 2. Module Coverage

### 2.1 Integration Suite Components
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| **CPI (Cloud Platform Integration)** | iFlow-based message routing/transformation |
| **API Management** | API design, gateway, throttling, security |
| **Event Mesh** | Event-driven messaging (pub/sub) |
| **Open Connectors** | Pre-built non-SAP connectors |
| **Integration Advisor** | Schema design assistance |

### 2.2 Datasphere
- Successor to SAP DWC (Data Warehouse Cloud)
- Spaces (data isolation) + Local Tables + Views + Federation
- Connect S/4HANA Cloud / on-prem / BW / non-SAP via Data Provisioning Agent

## 3. CPI / iFlow Patterns

### 3.1 Common iFlow Shapes
- **Request-Reply** — sync API call
- **Splitter** — message → multiple
- **Aggregator** — multiple messages → 1
- **Content Filter** — header/payload filtering
- **Mapping** — Message Mapping (graphical) or Script (Groovy)

### 3.2 Typical Flows
- **S/4 to SuccessFactors** — employee replication
- **SuccessFactors to S/4 HCM** — org data sync
- **S/4 to Ariba** — material/vendor master via CIG
- **Bank file (MT940)** — FTP → CPI → S/4 FF.5

## 4. Datasphere Patterns

### 4.1 Architecture
- **Space** — isolation (sandbox / production / per-business unit)
- **Local Table** — physically stored
- **Remote Table** — federated (live query)
- **View** — virtual model
- **Analytic Model** — for SAC consumption

### 4.2 Data Provisioning
- **DP Agent** — on-prem to cloud bridge
- **Replication Flow** — real-time data sync
- **Data Flow** — ETL-like batch

## 5. Critical Issues

### CPI / iFlow
- **iFlow not triggering** — sender adapter config, polling schedule, certificate expired
- **Mapping error** — schema mismatch, missing required fields, type conversion
- **Memory exceeded** — large payload, split before processing
- **Certificate expired** — STRUST equivalent in BTP Keystore, alert before expiry
- **Reprocessing failed message** — Monitor → Messages → Retry

### Datasphere
- **Federation slow** — push-down vs materialize trade-off
- **Replication lag** — Replication Flow monitoring
- **Space sharing fail** — Privilege Sharing config

### Cloud Connector
- **Tunnel not connecting** — outbound 443 firewall, regional endpoint
- **System mapping fail** — virtual host vs internal host

## 6. Korean Context

### 한국 시나리오
- **국세청 e-Tax invoice 연동**: CPI iFlow + 한국 인증서
- **사회보험 EDI**: SFTP + 한국 정부 형식
- **K-Bank file 파싱**: KFTC 표준 MT940 한국 dialect
- **망분리 환경**: Cloud Connector + DMZ + 보안 게이트웨이

### Datasphere 활용
- 한국 본사 + 자회사(중국·베트남·미국) 데이터 통합
- SAC 시각화 입력 데이터로 활용

## 7. Cross-module Routing

- BTP env / Cloud Connector → also `sap-btp`
- S/4 측 인터페이스 → `sap-abap-developer` (CDS, BAdI, RFC)
- SuccessFactors 동기화 → `sap-sfsf-consultant`
- Ariba 통합 → `sap-ariba-consultant`
- SAC 데이터 소스 → `sap-sac-consultant`

## 8. SAP Notes & References

- SAP Note 2733913 — CPI Capacity Sizing
- SAP Note 3040983 — Datasphere General

## 9. Out of Scope

- BW/4HANA on-prem data warehouse (use BW skill)
- Non-SAP iPaaS (Boomi, MuleSoft, Workato)
- PO/PI (older SAP integration platform — deprecated; migrate to CPI)
- HCI (older name for CPI)
