[Blog Post] SAP Event Mesh - Consuming S4 events simultaneously in CAP-based applications and SAP Integration Suite[Blog Post] SAP Event Mesh - Consuming S4 events simultaneously in CAP-based applications and SAP Integration SuiteOne S/4HANA event, two consumers at once: a CAP Java application and SAP Integration Suite. Late in a long Deep Dive series and written as such — the queues, the S/4HANA connection and the Integration Suite side were all established in earlier posts, so this is the part where they meet.AyushKumar and vipul.khullar, published 2023-03-24

#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 1#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 1First of a three-part series on designing a CAP application on BTP that uses the platform's data privacy services, and this part is the vocabulary before any of it: personal data, the rights a data subject has under GDPR, and the data controller and processor distinction, worked through an order-confirmation SMS example. It names four BTP services: SAP Personal Data Manager, SAP Data Retention Manager, SAP Data Privacy Integration and SAP Audit Log service. Only the first is described, as a service running in the Cloud Foundry environment that finds data subjects across one or more applications and services, makes requests on an individual's behalf about their personal information and forwards them for handling, and notifies individuals which of their personal information is being used or sends them a copy of their record by email; the CAP-side annotations and PDM's own application features follow in Part 2 and Part 3.Ajit_K_Panda, published 2023-03-18
#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 2#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 2Walks through wiring a CAP service to SAP's Personal Data Manager (PDM) on BTP: entity, key and field-level @PersonalData annotations that mark data subjects and personal fields, the @PersonalData.IsPotentiallyPersonal / IsPotentiallySensitive distinction that drives audit logging, and the @Communication.Contact annotation PDM needs to search for a data subject. Covers the xsuaa trust arrangement and service binding that let the standalone PDM application call back into the CAP service to read and manage that data. Second of a three-part series; the annotation model it demonstrates is CAP's own mechanism for data privacy compliance, exercised against a sample 'Game Shop' application.Ajit_K_Panda, published 2023-03-18
#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 3#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 3Third of a three-part series, this covers the UI side of SAP's Personal Data Manager (PDM) once it is subscribed and wired to a CAP application: a Customer Service Representative searches for a data subject, views the personal data the application's annotations expose, and requests correction, deletion or export on their behalf, while an Operators Clerk processes those requests through to completion. PDM stores none of the personal data itself, only the requests and access logs, which an administrator downloads through the separate Data Transport app. It builds on the annotation model the first two parts introduce, so what it demonstrates is PDM's own delivered UI rather than anything a CAP application must build itself.Ajit_K_Panda, published 2023-03-18
🚀 Introducing SCIM API for SAP Sales & Service Cloud v2: Seamless User Sync between Source & Target🚀 Introducing SCIM API for SAP Sales & Service Cloud v2: Seamless User Sync between Source & TargetSAP Sales & Service Cloud v2's SCIM API is now generally available by default, having moved out from behind a feature toggle before 1 November 2025. It runs on SAP Identity Provisioning Service, which pushes user records from SAP Identity Authentication Service into the target system over SCIM 2.0's GET/PUT/PATCH /scim/v2/Users endpoints, gated on an employee record already replicated from S/4HANA, SuccessFactors or ERP. This version adds PATCH operations, provisioning of application-specific groups as business roles, and cursor-based pagination beside the existing startIndex/count scheme, and no longer needs SAP Cloud Integration in the path.Yogananda, published 2025-08-30

End-to-End Error Handling with General Splitter and Local FlowsEnd-to-End Error Handling with General Splitter and Local FlowsA Cloud Integration iFlow splits an incoming XML payload with the General Splitter, calls an OData service in parallel for each part and gathers the results, then hands a failed call to an Exception Subprocess, where a Process Call reaches a Local Integration Process that calls a separate exception-handling iFlow over ProcessDirect. In that second flow a Content Modifier puts the interface ID and the stack trace into message headers and the tenant, flow and message ID into exchange properties, a Groovy script saves the message as a plain-text log attachment, and the Mail adapter sends the stack trace as an email; the failure itself is provoked by removing the https prefix from the OData URL. Each step is given with its own configuration, from the splitter's XPath and batch size to the ProcessDirect address format and the headers the exception handler sets.NaveenReddy_06, published 2025-07-02

The retry iFlow stores the failed payload in a JMS queue (Enterprise Edition), retries up to five times with exponential backoff, moves exhausted messages to the dead-letter queue, and mails the Application Maintenance team; the author notes the queue's 10 GB size limit and that polling may pause under load.Shailaja, published 2025-09-05

From Application Logging to Cloud Logging: Service Innovation GuideFrom Application Logging to Cloud Logging: Service Innovation GuideSAP Cloud Logging replaces SAP Application Logging service, moving each customer from a shared multitenant stack to a dedicated, fully isolated one, and this guide sets out what changes with the move: a deployment per compliance region instead of per Cloud Foundry landscape, SAML/IDP-based authentication instead of Cloud Foundry-bound auth, retention that is configurable instead of fixed at seven days, and hourly capacity-unit pricing instead of fixed-size monthly plans. It also states the deprecation timeline for logging on BTP: SAP Application Logging closes to new or renewed CPEA contracts after 2025-07-31, while contracts signed before that date keep their entitlement until their next renewal.Hariharan-Gandhi, published 2024-11-22

It covers what the logging libraries need so custom fields reach both services during the overlap: the CF Node.js library detects both bindings itself from v6.5.0, while the CF Java library has to be configured to retain each custom field at top level.

How to Configure Retry Mechanism in SAP BTP CI/IS to Handle Only Connectivity Errors when using AEMHow to Configure Retry Mechanism in SAP BTP CI/IS to Handle Only Connectivity Errors when using AEMShows how to configure a Cloud Integration iFlow with an AEM sender so only connectivity errors trigger a retry: a Groovy script reads the CamelHttpResponseCode header and looks it up in a value map, and a router then sends a transient failure such as a 408 timeout down the retry path, where the retry limit set in AEM applies, and an error needing manual intervention, such as a 401, down a path that ends the flow at once and emails the team. It applies only to receiver adapters that return CamelHttpResponseCode, among them HTTP, SOAP, IDoc and OData. It builds on an earlier post of the author's, which this one does not name, where an email goes out after the final retry attempt.Jayabalaji_Sakthivel, published 2025-01-21

How to handle “usernames”, “Global User IDs” and “external IDs” in your landscape?How to handle “usernames”, “Global User IDs” and “external IDs” in your landscape?Explains what a username, a Global User ID and a SCIM2 external ID each are and when to use them: the username is the mutable attribute a person authenticates with, the Global User ID is the correlation attribute SAP uses when the same user must be identified between the applications they are provisioned into, and the external ID is mutable, defined by the client and optional within SCIM2. Argues against deriving any of the three from personal data, because they appear in read-only log files and other traces, some applications do not allow an ID change at all, and DevOps staff with access to those logs would otherwise see personal data they are not allowed to see. Recommends generating values without personal data, in uuid format, for technical integrations such as SAML or OIDC flows and SCIM-based replication, and keeping attributes like an email or display name for logon aliases and for what a user interface shows; notes that Cloud Identity Services already generates the SCIM ID and Global User ID in uuid format for each record.1Gunnar, published 2023-09-12
How to Perform Initial Loads from S/4HANA to Advanced Event Mesh with Odata PollHow to Perform Initial Loads from S/4HANA to Advanced Event Mesh with Odata PollWalks through building a Cloud Integration flow that polls the S/4HANA Business Partner OData API on a timer, splits the response into individual records, and publishes each as an event to Advanced Event Mesh through its adapter, with the topic set dynamically from a grouping property. Selects fields and expands associations with $select/$expand against an EDMX from the API Business Hub, and works around the OData V2 adapter's lack of JSON support by falling back to the HTTP adapter with an XML-to-JSON converter. Flags the trade-off: the pattern needs no backend change beyond activating the API, but the polled payload has to stay aligned with whatever event format the ERP pushes on change.AlexPfeil, published 2025-04-04

A Content Modifier holds the API key and the prompt as externalised properties, which the post says is what lets another model be put in their place, and a closing Groovy script writes the extracted fields to custom headers and log attachments and rebuilds them as an XML error response. The exception-subprocess wiring is given step by step and so is the Gemini call with its request format, which is why the piece sits on integration flows and on LLM integration.AdarshRao, published 2025-07-20

Migration Journey from MuleSoft to SAP Integration Suite (CI)Migration Journey from MuleSoft to SAP Integration Suite (CI)Maps MuleSoft Anypoint's error handling onto SAP Integration Suite: the Global Error Handler and MuleSoft's built-in retries become Exception Subprocesses with scripted Groovy retry logic or JMS-based retry, since Cloud Integration has no automatic equivalent. MuleSoft's searchable logger text becomes Content Modifier headers and Groovy-scripted Message Log entries, correlated by application message ID and correlation ID for traceability across complex interfaces. The mapping is drawn from the author's own migration project across assessment, development and validation phases, and is explicitly flagged as not an SAP- or MuleSoft-approved design.Shailaja, published 2025-09-21

New CI Pipeline Restart Extension features: supporting new Pipeline package and improved Restart JobNew CI Pipeline Restart Extension features: supporting new Pipeline package and improved Restart JobA restart extension for Cloud Integration pipelines, in version 1.0.1: a Value Mapping or a technical-ID prefix check resolves which pipeline stage a failed message belongs to, so a custom receiver IFlow copy can be linked to the right stage even when its ID does not follow the standard naming, and a Generic Job Profile restarts every scenario resolved through the Alternative Partner approach instead of only the interfaces named in a fixed list. A new RestartJobLog parameter stores each run's log as a Message Processing Log attachment, in the database, or via a custom IFlow, and a companion "Pipeline API – Restart Job Log" Integration Flow retrieves that log or the Restart Job's own MPL details. The walkthrough is concrete about the Integration Flows, Value Mapping and Script Collection that make up the package, which is why it explains Integration flows rather than only the restart feature riding on top of them.slava_kuzyakin, published 2025-10-02
New Pipeline Concept features: integrated runtimes and supporting landscape stagesNew Pipeline Concept features: integrated runtimes and supporting landscape stagesDescribes version 1.0.9 of the Pipeline Concept package for Cloud Integration in SAP Integration Suite, which the post says can be taken from the SAP Business Accelerator Hub: a new integrated messaging runtime step merges inbound conversion with receiver and interface determination, cutting the JMS queues a scenario needs from four to two, or eight to four counting dead-letter queues, and a synchronous variant replaces queues with the ProcessDirect adapter for Content-Based-Router scenarios. It also maps a sender's actual business system name to an alias held in the Partner Directory, so the same XI and IDoc scenario definitions run across DEV, QA and PRD stages without converting names when transporting between them.alex_bundschuh, published 2025-01-29
New Pipeline for Cloud Integration features with version 1.0.11New Pipeline for Cloud Integration features with version 1.0.11Version 1.0.11 of the Process Integration Pipeline package for Cloud Integration changes two defaults the post says require attention. The "tilde option", which built a partner ID by joining the sender system and interface names, is now switched off: a message whose partner ID cannot be resolved through an alternative partner goes into an error that is resolved by fixing the Partner Directory entry and restarting the message, instead of being constructed under an ID that may not exist there and left on the first JMS queue with no way to correct its partner ID header. Keeping the old behaviour means setting the externalised parameter CustomXPid_SwitchOffTilde to false in the five generic flows that call the partner-ID script; the default inbound processing queue also moves from PIPQ01 to PIPX01 in the generic XI and IDoc inbound flows, so those messages go to the integrated messaging runtime rather than the fully decoupled pipeline.alex_bundschuh, published 2025-05-07

Revisiting your SAP BTP security measures after AI Core vulnerability fixWritten after the SAPwned disclosure in SAP AI Core, it argues SAP BTP's shared-responsibility model still requires the customer's own hardening: scope SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry Runtime and SAP BTP, Kyma runtime app access, rotate OAuth2 client-credentials secrets, and enforce MFA and Conditional Access through a corporate identity provider rather than relying on SAP's patch alone. It then explains how the SAP Audit Log service writes standardized events for most Cloud Foundry BTP services, and walks through onboarding a BTP subaccount into Microsoft Sentinel for SAP BTP to query those logs with Kusto and build detection rules that flag unexpected login countries or known-bad IPs and trigger automatic user blocks.published 2024-07-25
Optimized IDoc Routing in SAP CI with Value Mapping and Groovy-Based Receiver DeterminationOptimized IDoc Routing in SAP CI with Value Mapping and Groovy-Based Receiver DeterminationShreyasShenoy07 replaces SAP PI/PO's single shared IDoc destination with a receiver-determination pattern built in Cloud Integration: a generic iFlow reads the IDoc's EDI_DC40 header, looks up the sender identifier and the receiver list in two Value Mapping tables keyed by sender system and IDoc type, and a Groovy script evaluates each receiver's XPath condition before routing the message to a receiver-specific iFlow over the ProcessDirect adapter. Adding or changing a receiver becomes a Value Mapping edit instead of an iFlow redeployment, and the same IDoc can fan out to several receivers when more than one condition matches.ShreyasShenoy07, published 2025-08-08

Process Integration Pipeline Extension - Restart via Data StoreProcess Integration Pipeline Extension - Restart via Data StoreOn SAP Cloud Integration's Process Integration Pipeline, a message that exhausts its JMS retries lands in a Dead Letter Queue with no API to query or move it, and the JMS broker carries a hard size limit. This package, published on SAP Business Accelerator Hub, replaces that path with Data Store entries written through the pipeline's custom exception-handling exit, a scheduled Restart Job Integration Flow, and two optional HTTP APIs for on-demand restarts and Data Store management. Entry names encode the partner ID, the pipeline stage, the message ID and a retry count, so messages can be filtered and restarted by scenario instead of moved one by one in the queue monitor.mate_moricz, published 2025-07-23

Resend HTTP messages with configured pause and fixed max iteration followed by error handlingResend HTTP messages with configured pause and fixed max iteration followed by error handlingBuilds a retry pattern for a Cloud Integration HTTP Receiver call by splitting the request-reply step into its own local sub-process, which loops on the response code — up to a fixed five iterations, each after a configured pause — and routes to an exception sub-process that attaches the message processing log through Groovy once the count is exceeded or another error occurs. The design is the author's own alternative to the platform's retry pattern and inbuilt HTTP Receiver Adapter retry option, built for cases where neither applies; SAP Event Mesh and SAP Advanced Event Mesh are named only as the queue-based alternative the author considered and set aside.Aman_V, published 2024-01-03
