SAP Cloud Integration Cookbook

Every hybrid system is different—and so are its integration needs! With this hands-on cookbook for the Cloud Integration capability in SAP Integration Suite, you’ll learn advanced techniques and best practices for your unique system. Follow “recipes” for both common and complex tasks, from data mapping with Groovy and XSLT to implementing adapters and asynchronous interfaces. Need to get up to speed on artifact reusability, security, transport management, or logging? Want to see detailed, real-world integration scenarios? This practical guide will give you the insights you need to become a Cloud Integration master!

Find solutions to complex problems, master best practices, and learn advanced Cloud Integration techniques for your SAP system
Work with Groovy, XSLT, message mappings, adapters, and more
Create reusable integration artifacts, design loosely coupled interfaces, and manage transports with CI/CD pipelines

You'll learn about:

Integration Recipes:
Get solutions to complex integration problems! Between these pages, you’ll find best practices, advanced techniques, and real-world guidance for your day-to-day work with Cloud Integration.
Mapping, Interfaces, and Artifacts:
Learn how to use Groovy scripts, XSLT transformations, and message mappings to update your data. Connect different types of systems using adapters, loosely coupled interfaces, and reusable integration artifacts.
Transports, Security, and Monitoring:
Set up authentication, secure your storage, and manage data; then move integration artifacts between systems with SAP Cloud Transport Management. Post-deployment, monitor your integrations with SAP Cloud ALM and the SAP Alert Notification service.
Practical Interface Scenarios:
See Cloud Integration at work in the real world! Walk through using SAP SuccessFactors integration center and intelligent services for event triggers. Get best practices for event-based architectures and connect Cloud Integration with Event Mesh.
