Description

Introduction

SAP Cloud Platform Integration (SAP CPI) is a critical component of SAP Integration Suite, enabling businesses to seamlessly connect cloud and on-premise applications. While basic integrations help streamline operations, mastering advanced techniques is essential for optimizing performance, securing data exchange, and handling complex enterprise scenarios.

This course dives deep into SAP CPI’s advanced capabilities, including custom scripting, complex error handling, high-volume data processing, API management, and integration with emerging technologies. Participants will gain hands-on experience with real-world use cases and best practices for building robust, scalable, and secure integrations.

Prerequisites

• Strong understanding of SAP CPI fundamentals and integration flows.

• Knowledge of enterprise integration concepts (APIs, web services, messaging).

• Experience with XML, JSON, and scripting languages (Groovy/JavaScript).

• Familiarity with SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, and third-party integrations.
