Need to know SAP recommended for IDOC interface is HTTPS adapter or IDOC adapter

2026-01-16T14:28:53.348000+01:00

Hi Team,

Are there any sap best practice suggested, when BTP IS needed to connect with S4 Hana for IDOC connection.

Do we need to use the IDOC adapter or HTTPs adapter to get IDOC from S4 Hana. We need to know about below details.

- - What features will be missing if we are to use HTTPS rather IDOC adapter
  - Compatibility and EOIO?
  - Justification from SAP, why they recommended this approach

Shopify Admin Access Token Limits & Approach to Generate Offline Token via Developer Dashboard

2026-01-20T07:32:28.166000+01:00

Background
Shopify has introduced limitations on Admin API access tokens at the store level, and at the same time legacy custom apps are being deprecated (no new legacy apps after Jan 1, 2026).

For integrations such as SAP CPI / SAP BTP / SAP Commerce / SAP Concur, we often need a non-expiring (offline) Admin API access token for backend-to-backend communication.

This post explains a parallel and supported approach to generate an offline Admin API access token using the Shopify Developer Dashboard, instead of relying on store-level custom apps.

Why This Approach?

Avoids store-level admin token limitations
Works with offline access (non-expiring token)
Suitable for SAP integrations (CPI, BTP, ECC, S/4HANA, etc.)
Uses Shopify Dev Dashboard apps, not legacy custom apps

Step-by-Step: Generate Offline Admin API Access Token

1.Create App in Shopify Developer Dashboard

Log in to the Shopify Developer Dashboard
Create a new app
Select the target store during app setup

2.Configure App Version & Scopes

Navigate to Versions
Create a new version (example: v0.1)
Select all required Admin API Scopes (permissions)
Copy the scopes into Notepad (you’ll need them later)

3.Enable Legacy Install Flow

This is important for offline token generation.

In the version settings:

Set “Use legacy install flow” = True

4.Set Redirect URL
Under Allowed redirection URL(s), add:

https://localhost/

5.Release the App Version
Click Release

This makes the version active and installable

6. Get Client Credentials
Go to Settings and copy:

Client ID

Client Secret

Generate Admin API Authorization Code
7. Construct Authorization URL
Replace the placeholders with your actual values:

https://{SHOP_NAME}.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/authorize?client_id={CLIENT_ID}&scope={SCOPES}&redirect_uri=https://localhost/&response_type=code

Notes:

{SHOP_NAME} → Shopify store name

{CLIENT_ID} → From Developer Dashboard

{SCOPES} → Paste all scopes copied earlier (comma-separated)

8. Install App & Capture Code
Open the constructed URL in a browser

Click Install

You’ll be redirected to a broken localhost page or redirected page (expected behavior)

In the browser address bar, copy the value after:

code=

Important:

Authorization code expires in 60 seconds

If the page doesn’t load:

Press Enter once

Immediately copy the full URL

Extract the code parameter

Exchange Code for Offline Admin Access Token
9. Call Shopify Token API (POST)
Endpoint:

https://{STORE_NAME}.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/access_token
Headers:

Content-Type: application/json

Body (JSON):

{
"client_id": "CLIENT_ID_FROM_DEV_DASHBOARD",
"client_secret": "CLIENT_SECRET_FROM_DEV_DASHBOARD",
"code": "CODE_FROM_BROWSER"
}
10. Result
Shopify returns an offline Admin API access token

Token does NOT expire
Can be safely stored and used in SAP integrations

Now you will have Access token where you can use it in header param (X-Shopify-Access-Token) and graphql API ( https://StoreName.myshopify.com/admin/api/2025-01/graphql.json) and graphql query 🙂

Key Takeaways

Shopify store-level admin tokens now have limitations
Legacy custom apps are being phased out
Developer Dashboard apps + legacy install flow provide a reliable workaround
This method is ideal for SAP CPI / SAP BTP / backend integrations
Offline Admin API token is permanent unless revoked

Looking for Expert and Community Insights on My SAP Technical Journey

2026-01-23T15:59:27.074000+01:00

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well.

I would like to kindly ask for your feedback and professional insights regarding my current learning journey within the SAP Technical domain. My goal is to continuously improve my technical profile and ensure that my learning path aligns well with real-world SAP projects and current market expectations.

Below is a brief overview of my learning direction and the reasoning behind each focus area.

SAP Technical Learning Direction At this stage, my primary focus is on pursuing the SAP Technical track. I am currently concentrating on SAP Basis, aiming to build a strong and solid foundation in SAP system administration, core architecture, and operational concepts.
In parallel, I am expanding my knowledge across several complementary technical areas, as outlined below:

SAP HANA
My objective is to gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of SAP HANA database architecture and how SAP systems interact with the database layer in terms of structure, performance optimization, and system integration.

SAP ABAP
I am working on building a solid understanding of the ABAP stack, with a focus on how development processes are designed and implemented within SAP systems. This helps me better understand system logic, debugging, and collaboration with development teams from a technical perspective.

SAP CPI (Cloud Integration)
My focus includes understanding SAP’s transition from traditional on-premise environments to cloud-based platforms, along with cloud integration concepts such as internal (A2A) and external (B2B) integration scenarios.

Additionally, I have complemented this learning path with the Apache Camel Framework, due to its importance and relevance within SAP integration solutions.

SAP UI5 / Fiori & SAP BTP CAPM
Recently, SAP introduced important updates related to both frontend and backend development models. I have been exploring these updates and following commonly recommended learning resources to better understand the modern SAP development approach, including CAP-based application development.

Learning Approach
Overall, I am intentionally following a structured and methodical learning sequence to build a holistic understanding of SAP Architecture as an integrated enterprise platform, rather than focusing on individual tools or isolated technologies.

Current Learning Path & Courses
Below are the main courses I am currently following (via Udemy):

SAP NetWeaver Fundamentals

SAP Basis Administration

SAP HANA Administration

Apache Camel Framework with Spring Boot

SAP Cloud Integration (CI / CPI), including API Management and Event Mesh

SAP UI5 / Fiori Full Stack with TypeScript / JavaScript using SAP BTP RAPM / CAPM

I would truly appreciate your feedback on whether this learning path is well-structured and aligned with real-world SAP implementations, and whether there are any key areas you would recommend adding, adjusting, or prioritizing differently.

Thank you in advance for your time and valuable insights.

Best regards,

Can I send external RFC calls to SAP CPI / Integration Suite gateway?

2026-01-26T11:41:21.465000+01:00

I want to establish RFC communication between external RFC interface client and S4U backend system via SAP Integration Suite gateway. Is this possible? Is it possible using lirfc32.dll version 7200 for external client or only for SAP Netweaver RFC SDK 7.50?

Thanks, Rainer

Producer Event Mesh IFlow

2026-01-27T13:58:08.521000+01:00

Hi,

I would like for your opinion regarding designing producer's iflow for asynchronous data publishing and consumption.
The general idea is to have integration flow that will iterate every 15 minutes over the list of datacenters and query Prometheus logs for every datacenter and then publish the data to the event mesh queue. That would be the producer iflow. Then, the consumer iflow would use the event mesh queue as the sender and push the messages to the FAST API application.

So far I have been focusing on the producer design. It has the following steps:
1. Timer (trigger every 15 minutes)
2. Content Modifier (body with the landscape list)
3. Groovy script that reads the list
4. Iterator splitter (sequentially processing each landscape from the list)
5. Query Prometheus for each landscape id and build the topic property corresponding to the current landscape
6. Request Reply from the query
7. Publish the message to the event mesh queue
8. AMQP receiver adapter to connect to the queue
I would like your humble opinion on this design. I tested it and it works fine, the messages arrive to the queue and I can use Postman or Bruno to consume them.
This is the setup with one queue and multiple topic subscriptions within the queue corresponding to each landscape id.
What do you think of this setup? I am using SAP Event Mesh and average message size can be from 2-5 MB depending on the size of the datacenter.

Thank you!

Unable to Activate API Management in SAP Integration Suite – Trial Accoun

2026-01-30T17:09:18.461000+01:00

Hi Experts,

I am new to SAP BTP and currently exploring SAP Integration Suite using a BTP trial account.

While trying to activate API Management from Integration Suite, I am getting the following error message during activation:

"There is a temporary problem in provisioning your account, please try again by clicking on Activate. In case the problem persists, please create an incident in the component OPU-API-OD-OPS for further assistance."

Since this is a trial account, I wanted to understand:
- Is API Management supported on SAP BTP trial accounts?
- Is this a known limitation for trial tenants?
- Has anyone faced a similar issue and found a workaround for learning purposes?

I understand that creating an SAP incident may not be possible for trial accounts, so I wanted to check with the community if there are any recommended next steps.

Any guidance or clarification would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

SAP Integration Suite Trial: MessageProcessingLogs API returns HTML redirect (200 OK) with Bearer to

2026-02-04T07:10:48.917000+01:00

Hi,

In my SAP Integration Suite trial tenant, the OData API works perfectly in the browser (logged in via SSO) – I get XML/JSON with real MessageProcessingLogs data.

But when calling the same URL from Postman or curl using OAuth Client Credentials (Bearer token from /oauth/token), I always get HTTP 200 OK + HTML redirect page to /oauth/authorize (interactive login).

Details:

Tenant: serverName-trial.cfapps.ap21.hana.ondemand.com
Endpoint: /api/v1/MessageProcessingLogs?$top=5&$format=json
Created Process Integration Runtime instance (api plan) with roles: ["MonitorDataRead"]
Token scopes: it!b196.Default uaa.resource it!b196.IntegrationOperationServer.read it!b196.NodeManager.read it!b196.Roles.Read
Headers correct: Authorization: Bearer , Accept: application/json

Tried: new instance/key, role collection assignment to client_id, fresh tokens – still the same HTML.

Why does browser SSO work but Bearer token gets redirected? Missing step in trial tenants for MonitorDataRead?

Thanks for any help!

Integration Suite issue with Deep Entity create: dependent entities missing

2026-02-09T03:24:36.742000+01:00

Hello experts,

I am facing a rather interesting issue that I have never seen before. I have the following scenario: An integration flow in Integration Suite that connects to an OData service on-premise, with cloud connector setup (the Odata service is hosted on premise, ECC.

All is well but for one flow: I have an scenario that i will forward a payload like this one:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><TransportEntitySet><TransportEntity><CodigoRota>15573914</CodigoRota><DataHoraImportacaoRota>2026-01-30T11:28:00</DataHoraImportacaoRota><DataHoraInicioRota>2026-01-30T16:22:00</DataHoraInicioRota><DataHoraFimRota>2026-01-30T16:23:00</DataHoraFimRota><NomeRota>0060012623</NomeRota><Status>2</Status><IdDeposito/><Entregas><Entrega><CodigoEntrega>118350098</CodigoEntrega><DataHoraChegada>2026-01-30T16:22:00</DataHoraChegada><DataHoraFimAtendimento>2026-01-30T16:23:00</DataHoraFimAtendimento><Pedidos><Pedido><IdPedido>000352640</IdPedido><NumeroPedido>000352640</NumeroPedido><Remessa>0310794518</Remessa><ComentarioPedido>Lorem Ipsum</ComentarioPedido><CodigosBarra/></Pedido></Pedidos></Entrega></Entregas><Entregas><Entrega><CodigoEntrega>118350099</CodigoEntrega><DataHoraChegada>2026-01-30T16:23:00</DataHoraChegada><DataHoraFimAtendimento>2026-01-30T16:23:00</DataHoraFimAtendimento><Pedidos><Pedido><IdPedido>000352641</IdPedido><NumeroPedido>000352641</NumeroPedido><Remessa>0310794520</Remessa><ComentarioPedido>Texto 01 / Texto 02 / Texto 03 / Texto 04</ComentarioPedido><CodigosBarra/></Pedido></Pedidos><Pedidos><Pedido><IdPedido>000352642</IdPedido><NumeroPedido>000352642</NumeroPedido><Remessa>0310794521</Remessa><ComentarioPedido>Texto 01 / Texto 02 / Texto 03 / Texto 04</ComentarioPedido><CodigosBarra/></Pedido></Pedidos></Entrega></Entregas></TransportEntity></TransportEntitySet>

As the OData adapter only accepts XML for POST methods, we'll send the payload as above as the result of the conversion of a JSON to XML, so looking at the XML seems correct. The definition of the service is as below (from the associations panel):

However when the OData adapter is called, the message is transformed to the following payload, where each of the composite (expanded) entities Entregas and Pedidos have only one entry, namely the last one.

I Thought it was a cardinality problem, but it doesn't seem like that. I'll try to assign referential constraints based on the id of the message but it should not have any.

Has anyone faced something similar? i think i'll reshape the service and maybe add some referential constraints

appreciate any inputs

SAP Integraton Suite - Custom adaper (asynchronous) - send step

2026-02-09T13:21:49.975000+01:00

Dear SAP Integration Experts,

I am trying to develop custom adapter to be used in SAP Integration Suite for asynchronous processing and I would like to mainly use that adapter in a Send step in iFlow. I have tried almost everything and come up with: Send is not supported for the adapter. I was able to get the adapter working with request-reply step and surely this can work but as this adapter is asynchronous in nature it would be great to be able to use it with Send step. All of the examples I have found use either simple iflow with end step and the custom adapter or with request reply step. What I would like to know is whether the send step can be used only with buill in SAP adapters (Kafka, JMS) and this is intentional and I have to live with request-reply step or it can be used and I am missing some configurations? Thanks a lot. Pavol

Proper End-to-End Steps to Consume SAP Business Accelerator Hub APIs in SAP Integration Suite (OAuth

2026-02-10T12:29:13.028000+01:00

I’m trying to integrate SAP Integration Suite (CPI) with APIs from SAP Business Accelerator Hub.

I initially used API keys via HTTP headers, but ran into 401/403 errors, which made it unclear:

when API keys are sufficient, and
when OAuth 2.0 is mandatory.

I’m also confused about the exact BTP services and steps required to obtain OAuth client credentials for real SAP S/4HANA Cloud APIs, especially compared to sandbox APIs that seem to work with API keys only.

I’m looking for a clear end-to-end explanation of:

When to use API Key vs OAuth 2.0
How sandbox APIs behave (read-only / mock data)
Exact BTP steps to obtain OAuth credentials for S/4HANA Cloud APIs
How to configure CPI correctly to consume these APIs

Can not use the SAP Gateway Server (ES5) in the Learning 'Developing with SAP Integration Suite'

2026-02-17T15:50:12.824000+01:00

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask for advice regarding Integration Suite.
"I am currently taking the SAP Learning Journey: 'Developing with SAP Integration Suite' using an SAP BTP Trial account.

While following the exercise 'Log on SAP Gateway Demo Server - ES5' within the unit 'Exploring the Capabilities of SAP Integration Suite', I noticed that the ES5 demo server has been decommissioned, as mentioned in this tutorial: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/gateway-demo-signup.html

This has stalled my progress. To continue with the subsequent exercises as intended, what would be the best alternative.

Thanks in advance.
