Description

Introduction

SAP Cloud Platform Integration (SAP CPI) is a powerful middleware solution that enables seamless connectivity between SAP and non-SAP applications across cloud and on-premise environments. For integration developers, hands-on experience is crucial to mastering the capabilities of SAP CPI, from designing integration flows to managing real-time data exchanges and troubleshooting errors.

This course provides an in-depth, practical approach to SAP CPI, allowing participants to build and deploy integrations using pre-built adapters, custom scripting, API management, and advanced monitoring tools. Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, developers will gain the expertise needed to implement robust and scalable integration solutions.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of enterprise integration concepts.

• Familiarity with SAP ecosystem, including SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC.

• Knowledge of XML, JSON, REST, and SOAP web services.

• Experience with Groovy scripting (preferred but not mandatory).
