POST Survey Response into C4C through OData API

2024-10-28T20:24:21.694000+01:00

Hello Everyone,

We need to post survey responses from an external system to SAP C4C using the OData API. We’ve looked into the following API: [https://myXXXXX.crm.ondemand.com/sap/c4c/odata/v1/c4codataapi/SurveyResponseRootCollection('ObjectID')/SurveyResponse]

While it successfully creates the survey in C4C associated with a phone call, it's not updating the survey answers. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

[VBA] GuiOfficeIntegration : Long text and how to update document opened in Word

2024-11-11T13:23:30.435000+01:00

Hello,

I have field which, when updated, opens a word document. I then type text in the word document, then click on F3 (back button) and the text I typed is displayed in the field.

I recorded this action to get the vbscript.

Here it is:

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAB_STRIP/tabpTAB_STRIP_FC4/ssubTAB_STRIP_SCA:SAPLZUE_EDIT_DISPLAY:9002/btnRC_LT").press
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlSCMSW_CONTAINER_2102/shellcont/shell").setDocument 1,"the text I want to insert in base64 very long text"
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[3]").press

When I execute this code, what happens is the word document which is initially opened is closed, a new one opens, my text is put inside of it and the back button is pressed.

The problem is my text is not saved. I presume it is because SAP gets the content of the first word file initially opened.

Is there any way I can achieve what I am trying to achieve with VBA (i.e. : insert my text in the initial word document) without the use of SendKeys ?

Thanks

Allow calls from SAP system to SAP CPI based on the environment (SAP system DEV -> SAP CPI DEV)

2024-12-05T11:52:32.472000+01:00

Hello experts,

I have a requirement where the calls from SAP or any other external system to SAP CPI should only be allowed based on the environment (SAP DEV system able to make call to SAP CPI DEV system only). I have already gone through the below blog post. But the below blog post uses a script inside an iflow to restrict calls based on source IP address. But, I don't want the request to not reach SAP CPI itself.

IP Allowlisting in SAP Cloud Integration

Is there any configuration that can be done at SAP BTP side to achieve this?. Really appreciate for your support.

Thanks and Regards,

[CPI-Groovy]: Sort XML Nodes based on the start date

2024-12-05T12:31:58.989000+01:00

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to sort the EmpJob nodes based on start dates only when there is sinlge EmpEmployment node and jobInfoNav has multiple EmpJob nodes which contains emplStatusNav/PicklistOption/localeLabel is Active in the ascending order. Eg. I am expecting EmpJob/startDate = 2024-11-01T00:00:00.000 in the first node and then EmpJob/startDate = 2025-01-01T00:00:00.000 in the second node. The payload contains multiple records, if these conditions are not satisfied there should not be any sorting done to nodes.

I have tried with the below-mentioned code but it is not working.

Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

import com.sap.gateway.ip.core.customdev.util.Message;
import java.util.HashMap;
import groovy.xml.XmlUtil;
import groovy.util.NodeList
import groovy.util.XmlParser;
import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

def Message processData(Message message) {
    def body = message.getBody(java.lang.String);
    def payload = new XmlParser().parseText(body);
    
        payload.PerPerson.each{rec ->  
        def countofEmpEmployment = rec.employmentNav.EmpEmployment.size()
        if (countofEmpEmployment <= 1){
            def countofEmpJob = rec.employmentNav.EmpEmployment.jobInfoNav.EmpJob.size();
            def EmpJobStatus = rec.employmentNav.EmpEmployment.jobInfoNav.EmpJob.emplStatusNav.PicklistOption.localeLabel.text()
            if(EmpJobStatus.contains("ActiveActive")){
            rec.value = rec.employmentNav.EmpEmployment.jobInfoNav.EmpJob.sort{sd ->
                    sd.startDate.text()}
            }
        }
    } 
    message.setBody(XmlUtil.serialize(payload));
    return message;
}

SAP API Management - Set Basic Authentication for API Proxy in Integration Suite

2024-12-07T17:03:00.161000+01:00

Dear All,

In SAP Integration Suite, Basic Authentication offers a simple way to safeguard your API proxies using a username and password. This blog covers how to configure Basic Authentication for your API proxy in API Management.

Follow the Below Steps to Set Basic Authentication to your API Proxy.

Step 1 : Create a Proxy with your target endpoint (For test purpose i used httpbin URL)

https://httpbin.org/get

Step 2 : Go to Policies and Assign Basic Authentication in PreFlow Incoming request Stream

Provide the below code in the policy editor:

<BasicAuthentication async='true' continueOnError='false' enabled='true' xmlns='http://www.sap.com/apimgmt'>
	<Operation>Decode</Operation>
	<IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>true</IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>
	<User ref='current.username'></User>
	<Password ref='current.password'></Password>
	<Source>request.header.Authorization</Source>
</BasicAuthentication>

Step 3 : Add Raise Fault Policy in PreFlow Incoming Stream (Next to the Basic Authentication Policy)

<RaiseFault async="true" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" xmlns="http://www.sap.com/apimgmt">
    <FaultResponse>
        <Set>
            <Headers/>
            <Payload contentType="application/json">{"status" : "Error", "messege" : "401 Unauthorized" } </Payload>
            <StatusCode>401</StatusCode>
            <ReasonPhrase>Unauthorized</ReasonPhrase>
        </Set>
    </FaultResponse>
    <IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>true</IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>
</RaiseFault>

In RaiseFault Policy ConditionString Provide below Code (Replace "YOUR_USERNAME" & "YOUR_PASSWORD" with your credentials)

(current.username != "YOUR_USERNAME")  OR (current.password != "YOUR_PASSWORD")

Save and Deploy.

Testing :

To Test the Basic Authentication Try a GET Call for Your API Proxy in PostMan:

Positive Testing :

Provide the exact Username and Password given in the Condition String :

Negative Testing :

Provide an incorrect username and password to verify if access is correctly denied.

Incorrect Username :

Incorrect Password :

Thank You!

SAP B1 integration framework scenario steps sequence

2025-04-16T05:28:49.050000+02:00

Hi Experts,

I am trying to full fill below requirements in B1if v1 platform. Got some questions hope you can advice me.

I need get some records from database with sql query, let's call it "RecordsWO". Loop the "RecordsWO" and call B1 object to update. After all the objects are updated, get another records from database and call it "RecordsWeight". Loop the "RecordsWeight" and call B1 object to update them. After these I need call a SQL to update the job status.

At first, I created below scenario step. One main step to control the sequence, and two sub-steps to update the B1 objects. Of course, it won't work. Because you don't know when the sub-step all be finished after you put the update work into the B1i queues.

After that, I try to use the "call b1 object" atom instead of "call sub-step". In my opinion, this should works. You can loop the records and call b1 object to update. This is synchronous execution. But during the test, the message keeps in processing and won't finish. It seems get stuck in queue and without any exception.

So do you have any ideas about this? or any good solution to make the steps sequence executed? really thanks!

Recovery of credential from SAP INTEGRATION SUITE

2025-05-20T08:34:06.786000+02:00

Hello Community of Integration Developers,

Recently, I faced a challenge when my SSH keys were accidentally deleted from the IS tenant. Despite my efforts, I was unable to recover them myself and was only able to retrieve the keys from a colleague. This situation raised an important question: While we store credentials daily in Security Material, Key Store, and PGP Keys, where exactly are these stored? Are they saved on SAP’s proprietary servers?

If any of these credentials are accidentally deleted, what options do we have for recovery? Is there a backup or recovery mechanism provided by SAP for such scenarios?

I would appreciate any insights or best practices regarding credential recovery in SAP Integration Suite.

Thank you.

Local Integration Process Clarification

2025-05-30T19:58:05.674000+02:00

Dear All,

If we have a flow like below.

Main Integration Process (MIP) --> Local Integration Process 1 (LIP1) --> LIP2

If I set any header in a groovy in LIP2 will this be available in LIP1 and MIP? My understanding is the headers are global in scope and all steps in an iFlow should be able to read and set them. I tried but LIP2 headers are not visible in LIP1. I also tried to define them in LIP1 first and set them in LIP2 but that also didn't help to read them in LIP1/MIP.

Also, what about the exception handling in LIP2 and LIP1? What is the best practice here? Is there any limitation if we have nested processes like this and is there any limit on them?

S/4HANA to Bank SFTP via CPI – AL11 vs Client SFTP

2025-10-10T09:34:38.766000+02:00

Hello Experts,

We are integrating S/4HANA Private Cloud with a Bank SFTP through SAP CPI (PGP encryption handled in CPI). An ABAP program in S/4HANA will generate and place the output file either on AL11 or a client SFTP location. Considering two options:
1️. S/4 → AL11 → CPI → Bank SFTP (BASIS mounts SFTP on AL11)
2. S/4 → Client SFTP → CPI → Bank SFTP

Which approach is SAP-recommended / best practice? Does SAP provides any free SFTP server for such use? If we mount external client SFTP to AL11, does it makes any sense as eventually we will be picking the file from SFTP server.

Thanks,

Mohit
