Overview of this book

SAP BTP is the foundation of SAP’s intelligent and sustainable enterprise vision for its customers. It’s efficient, agile, and an enabler of innovation. It’s technically robust, yet its superpower is its business centricity. If you’re involved in building IT and business strategies, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with SAP BTP to see the big picture for digitalization with SAP solutions. Similarly, if you have design responsibilities for enterprise solutions, learning SAP BTP is crucial to produce effective and complete architecture designs. This book teaches you about SAP BTP in five parts. First, you’ll see how SAP BTP is positioned in the intelligent enterprise. In the second part, you’ll learn the foundational elements of SAP BTP and find out how it operates. The next part covers integration architecture guidelines, integration strategy considerations, and integration styles with SAP’s integration technologies. Later, you’ll learn how to use application development capabilities to extend enterprise solutions for innovation and agility. This part also includes digital experience and process automation capabilities. The last part covers how SAP BTP can facilitate data-to-value use cases to produce actionable business insights.

Designing application integration scenarios

Suppose you have already established an integration methodology. In this case, for a given scenario, you have done a big part of designing your integration simply because you will build on top of an integration pattern prescribed by your methodology.

We will start with designing typical process integration scenarios that can be implemented using the Cloud Integration capability of SAP Integration Suite.

As you may remember from our previous discussions, standards and protocols are crucial for integration, as they reduce complexity. There are several of them, and the more your integration platform supports, the better coverage you have for efficiently resolving integration challenges. Leveraging these together with the transformation, mediation, and orchestration capabilities, you can formulate and build integration flows.

An integration flow is designed to process the message that traverses Cloud...
