Description

Introduction

SAP Cloud Platform Integration (SAP CPI) is a cloud-based middleware solution that enables seamless integration between SAP and non-SAP applications across different environments. It plays a crucial role in connecting cloud and on-premise systems, facilitating smooth data exchange, and enabling automation of business processes.

This beginner-friendly course introduces SAP CPI concepts, architecture, and key integration capabilities. Participants will learn how to design, configure, and deploy integration flows using SAP Integration Suite, explore pre-packaged integration content, and gain hands-on experience in managing APIs and security settings.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of enterprise integration concepts.

• Familiarity with SAP systems (SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA) is helpful but not required.

• Knowledge of web services (REST, SOAP) and APIs is beneficial.
