Hi, my name is Denys van Kempen, SAP HANA Academy.
You are watching a video tutorial that is part of a series about the SAP Business Technology
Platform, SAP Integration Suite certification, covering Cloud Integration
This video was recorded in March 2022.
For the latest tutorials on the topic, please check the playlist.
We have already covered provisioning of the Integration Suite capabilities (component
or module, if you prefer), so we’ll go through this quickly.
Go to the launchpad application, launch the provisioning tool
Add capabilities and select Design, Develop and Operate Integration
Scenarios that’s the capability
and the module or tool is Cloud Integration supports end-to-end process integration through
the exchange of messages with this we have selected, enabled, all four
capabilities covered for the exam, trading partner management and integration
assessment are beyond the scope, time of recording optionally, you can enable asynchronous message
queueing.
Enabling Cloud Integration takes a little longer compared to the other capabilities,
taking 30 seconds, if that tenant provisioing with message queues may
take up to 60 minutes.
As with the other modules, we need to add the necessary role collections
the role collections for Cloud Integration are called Process Integration,
we’ll explain why in a minute, and we have an administrator role, business
expert, and developer role, to create and work with the integration flows.
There is also a read-only role for support users.
As with API Management, AuthGroup gives away that this service has been migrated from the
Neo environment, it has been around for some time, in other
words, we will back to this.
Select the role collection and add the user, or
alternatively, select the user,
preferably, the user group and assign the role collection
back to the provisioning app we should be able to access the app from here
some news and announcements also accessible from the header
same for the documentation pointing to the SAP Help Portal
with the feature scope description document release notes
additional resources the troubleshooting guide points to the support
portal, guided answers and the design guidelines
to a chapter, a section, in the Cloud Integration guide,
it is a single document.
as for the UI we have four menus: discover, design, monitor,
settings resembling API Management
Discover shows the available integration packages In design, we can create (or import) integration
packages, and inside those packages we will find the integration flows we will be spending
most time with Monitor shows KPIs for message processing,
flows running, security, stores, logs and unders settings, we can manage product
profiles, Cloud Integration and Process Orchestration
plus settings for transport, connectivity to the NetWeaver Enterprise Service (ES) repository,
on-premises That’s it for the quick tour of the interface
As for the process integration and orchestration, NetWeaver process integration (PI) has been
around for some time.
First release 2006, later alos commercialised as a suite, process orchestration (together
with business process and business rules management).
HANA Cloud Integration (HCI) was first released in 2013,
initially to integrate SAP’s latest cloud business acquisitions, SuccessFactors, Ariba,
Hybris, and so on, with SAP landscapes on-premises, and third-party cloud environments, still
a strong feature of the product In 2016, the HANA brand was dropped, and the
service renamed to Cloud Platform Integration (CPI)
which became the foundation for the Integration Suite, together with API Management, initially
Already with PI, you could design your integration flows using Eclipse, a tool most of you will
be familiar with.
This was also the tool to use for Cloud Integration modeling but eventually only this web interface
remained, similar to the trajectory of SAP HANA studio Eclipse plugin and the SAP Web
IDE and the Business Application Studio UI.
A bit of history, a bit of background, none of this you need to know for the exam, of
course
That’s it for Cloud Integration provisioning, coming up creating iFlows
