Exploring Cloud Integration tooling and creating a first integration flow
Pools: integration process

An integration process is an
executable, cross-system
process for processing
messages.

In an integration process, all

the process steps that are to
be executed and the
parameters relevant for
controlling the process are
defined.

© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 10

Exploring Cloud Integration tooling and creating a first integration flow
Pools: local integration process

You can use the local integration

process to simplify your integration
process by modularizing the main
integration process into smaller
fragments.

Ways of calling a local integration

process:
▪ Process Call – Use this step to call the
local integration process from the main
integration process
▪ Looping Process Call – Use this step
to call a local integration process
multiple times, based on the XPath or
non-xml-based condition

Exploring Cloud Integration tooling and creating a first integration flow
Pools: exception subprocess

An exception subprocess enables you to catch

and handle exceptions thrown in the integration
process or local integration process and perform
any additional processing on it.

Note:
▪ You can use an End Message event to wrap the
exception as a fault message in the payload and
send it back to the sender.
▪ The following steps are not supported in an exception
subprocess: Start Message, Terminate Message,
Timer Start, Start Event, End Event, Router.

© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 12

Exploring Cloud Integration tooling and creating a first integration flow
Events

▪ Start Message
First step of an integration process if the process is triggered by the Sender and not scheduled (with Timer)
▪ End Message
Last step of an integration process before the message is delivered to the Receiver
▪ Terminate Message
Used to terminate the process without sending the message to the Receiver
▪ Error Start Event
Used only in the exception subprocess and acts as the starting point, if any exception occurs in the integration process
▪ Error End Event
Used to throw the exception back to exception handlers
▪ Escalation
Does not abort the integration flow processing as a whole but only throws the Escalation Event and sets the MPL status to
“Escalated”. For synchronous messages, an error message is sent to the sender
▪ Start Event
Start of local integration process
▪ End Event
End of local integration process
▪ Timer
Used to configure a process to automatically start on a particular schedule

Pushing vs. polling integrations

Pushing sender adapters provide an endpoint that can be called by external senders.
▪ Parallel executions possible
▪ Execution schedule not configurable but controlled by incoming messages

Polling sender adapters run at scheduled times and pick up the data from the source system.
▪ Only one execution at a time
▪ Configurable execution schedule

Connecting cloud and on-premise applications with out-of-the-box adapters
Adapters with retry

Why a retry?
▪ Connections to external endpoints and even whole integration scenarios can fail due to temporary issues.
▪ Some senders cannot retry the message.
▪ A direct retry on the Cloud Integration side could solve the problem.

Re-delivery to external targets, no re-processing of the integration flow

▪ XI receiver adapter (configurable for Delivery Assurance Exactly Once (EO))
▪ Kafka receiver adapter (configurable)
▪ SFSF receiver adapter (5 retries with 3 min. pause between each retry)

Re-processing of the integration flow

▪ XI sender adapter (configurable for Delivery Assurance EO / ALO)
▪ AS2 / AS2 MDN sender adapter (configurable for Delivery Assurance EO)
▪ AS4 sender adapter (configurable for Delivery Assurance EO / ALO)
▪ All polling sender adapters (SFTP / FTP / Mail / Ariba / SuccessFactors)

Connecting cloud and on-premise applications with out-of-the-box adapters
Size restriction

Why?
▪ Integration scenarios are designed for a certain size of incoming messages
– Can the receiver handle that amount of data?
– Can my storage keep that amount of data
– Is the memory of my tenant capable of processing that amount of data?
▪ External senders cannot be controlled
▪ How to prevent senders from exceeding the expected size?

How?
▪ Body and attachment size restriction in the sender adapter
▪ Sender will receive an exception with HTTP response code 413

Transforming and converting messages
Message mapping

Message mapping defines the logic that

maps input message structures with the
required format of output message
structures.
Advantages
1. Graphical mapping tool with search & copy features
2. Support for standard and custom mapping functions
3. Test mappings using Simulate and Display Queue

Note: The Mapping Editor works in a similar way to the Mapping Editor in Enterprise Services Repository (ES Repository).
© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 4
Transforming and converting messages
Operation mapping

Operation mapping is used to relate an outbound service interface operation with an inbound
service interface operation.
Advantages:
1. Encapsulates the used mapping program
2. Using multi-mapping in an operation mapping helps to perform several mapping programs for the transformation
in a series

Note: Operation mapping can be imported from ES Repository only and cannot be created in Cloud Integration.
© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 5
Transforming and converting messages
XSLT mapping

XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Input Output

Transformations) mapping transforms XML
documents into other XML documents, HTML,
or text. The transformation capability in the
XSLT mapping step leverages the XSLT 3.0
specification.

Advantages
1. XSLT is most powerful for XML-to-XML mappings.
2. Eases complicated transformation, like mapping a large
IDoc to a deeply nested XML structure.
3. Stylesheets can be stored in a version control system
like Git.

Transforming and converting messages
Value mapping

▪ A value mapping artifact is used to

represent multiple values for a single
object in different contexts.
▪ Value mapping groups can be created
or uploaded as a value mapping
artifact in an integration package.

Transforming and converting messages
Scripting with JavaScript and Groovy

Cloud Integration offers a broad palette of flow steps to support you in realizing your integration scenarios.
But there may still be use cases where you need additional functionality. For this, you can use the Script step.
It allows you to run custom coding written in JavaScript or Groovy.

Capabilities
1. Access all message elements (message body,
headers, properties, attachments)
2. Add custom headers to the message processing log
(MPL)
3. Store own documents as MPL attachments
4. Access tenant artifacts like certificates or user
credentials via an API
5. Access value mappings
6. Access partner directory artifacts

Note: Script runtimes like Groovy are open source and can therefore change in future.

A content modifier can be used to modify the incoming message or payload by changing the content that is
involved in message processing.

With this flow step, you can:

1. Create and delete Message Header
2. Create and delete Exchange Property
3. Set Message Body

Note: The order of message processing is as follows: Message Header, Exchange Property, Message Body.
© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 9
Transforming and converting messages

Transforming and converting messages
Message digest

This integration flow step is used to calculate a digest (hash value) of the payload or parts of it and store
the result in a message header. The following steps are involved:

Message Transforms a message into a

Transform canonical XML document.

Calculate From this document,

Hash a digest (hash value) is
Value calculated.

Update This value is then

Target written to the
Header target header.

Transforming and converting messages
Filter

A filter step is used to extract information from an incoming message. It can be leveraged to use the
capabilities of XPath 3.1 Enterprise Edition for extracting information from an incoming XML message.

With this flow step, you can:

1. Filter the incoming XML message using the filter function.
2. Sort the incoming XML message using the sort function.
3. Group or concatenate the incoming data.
4. Simplify the complex XPath expression.

Input Output

XPath- /Message/orders/order

Routing and controlling messages
Routing requirements

▪ Integration scenarios are complex

▪ Different receivers involved
▪ Different business objects need different transformations
▪ Sender payload might not contain sufficient information
▪ Need for content enrichment, content-based routing, split,
and aggregation

© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 3

Routing and controlling messages
Router/content-based routing

Routing means choosing a processing path at

runtime based on a certain condition
▪ Conditions can be XML-based or non-XML-based
▪ Order of the conditions in the router is important
▪ Only one router branch/route gets processed
▪ A default route is always required

© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 4

Routing and controlling messages
Multicast/recipient list

▪ Send copies of the same message at runtime

to multiple branches/routes
▪ All branches start with the same content
(payload, headers, properties)
▪ No interference between child branches for
immutable objects
▪ Sequential multicast
– Ordered execution
– Execution of a branch dependent on success
of previous branch
▪ Parallel multicast
– Parallel execution

© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 5

Routing and controlling messages
Join

Merges the control of all multicast branches back into one branch

▪ Message content after the Join is defined by the last modeled branch

Note: Join cannot be used for router or splitter

© 2021 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 6

Routing and controlling messages
Splitter

Splitter helps to break composite messages into

individual messages based on certain criteria.
▪ General splitter
– Can split XML and non-XML files
– Can use grouping
– Can use parallel processing
– Keeps enveloping elements
▪ Iterating splitter General Splitter
– Similar to general splitter
