vocabulary: name: SAP Integration Suite Vocabulary description: >- Domain vocabulary for SAP Integration Suite covering integration patterns, artifact types, runtime concepts, API management terms, and operational terminology used across Cloud Integration, API Management, Integration Advisor, Open Connectors, and Event Mesh capabilities. version: 1.0.0 created: '2026-05-02' modified: '2026-05-02' terms: # Core Integration Concepts - term: Integration Flow abbreviation: iFlow definition: >- A BPMN-based executable artifact in SAP Cloud Integration that defines the processing logic for messages between source and target systems. Contains adapters, message transformations, routing, and error handling steps. category: Integration Artifact related: - Integration Package - Runtime Artifact - Adapter - term: Integration Package definition: >- A container for related integration artifacts including integration flows, value mappings, OData APIs, and documentation. Packages can be imported from the SAP Business Accelerator Hub. category: Integration Artifact related: - Integration Flow - Value Mapping - term: Value Mapping definition: >- An artifact that maps values between different coding systems or standards, such as mapping SAP material numbers to customer part numbers or standard codes between trading partners. category: Integration Artifact - term: Message Processing Log abbreviation: MPL definition: >- An audit log record generated for each message processed by an integration flow, containing processing status, timing, sender/receiver information, and any error details for troubleshooting. category: Runtime Monitoring related: - Correlation ID - Trace - term: Correlation ID definition: >- A unique identifier assigned to a business process or transaction that links multiple related message processing log entries across different integration flows. category: Runtime Monitoring - term: Runtime Artifact definition: >- A deployed instance of a design-time integration artifact that is actively running on the SAP Integration Suite runtime engine. category: Runtime Operations statuses: - STARTED - STARTING - STOPPING - STOPPED - ERROR - term: Adapter definition: >- A connector component within an integration flow that handles communication with external systems using specific protocols such as HTTPS, SFTP, SOAP, OData, AS2, JDBC, or messaging systems. category: Connectivity - term: Service Endpoint definition: >- An HTTP endpoint exposed by an integration flow within SAP Cloud Integration that external systems can invoke to trigger message processing. category: Connectivity # API Management Terms - term: API Proxy definition: >- A managed API endpoint in SAP API Management that acts as a facade for a backend service. The proxy applies policies for security, traffic management, mediation, and monitoring. category: API Management related: - API Product - Policy - term: API Product definition: >- A bundle of one or more API proxies published to the developer portal. Products can include quota and rate limit configurations and are what developers subscribe to through Applications. category: API Management related: - API Proxy - Application - term: Application definition: >- A developer-registered entity in SAP API Management that represents a client consuming API products. Applications are issued credentials (API keys or OAuth clients) for accessing subscribed API products. category: API Management - term: Policy definition: >- A configurable processing step applied to API request or response flows in SAP API Management. Includes quota enforcement, spike arrest, OAuth validation, mediation transforms, and logging policies. category: API Management - term: Key Value Map abbreviation: KVM definition: >- A named collection of key-value pairs used to store configuration data accessible to API proxies at runtime. Can be scoped to an API proxy, environment, or organization and optionally encrypted. category: API Management # Integration Advisor Terms - term: Message Implementation Guideline abbreviation: MIG definition: >- A document in SAP Integration Advisor that describes how a message type from a specific standard (EDI, IDoc, etc.) is used in a particular B2B or A2A scenario. Serves as the basis for creating mapping guidelines. category: B2B Integration - term: Mapping Guideline abbreviation: MAG definition: >- A document in SAP Integration Advisor that defines field-level mapping between source and target message implementation guidelines. Used to automatically generate integration content. category: B2B Integration # Event Mesh Terms - term: Event Mesh definition: >- SAP's event brokering service on BTP that enables asynchronous, event-driven communication between applications and services using standard protocols including AMQP, MQTT, and HTTP with CloudEvents format. category: Event-Driven Integration - term: Topic Subscription definition: >- A named subscription to an event topic in the SAP Event Mesh, allowing services to receive event notifications asynchronously when matching events are published. category: Event-Driven Integration # Process Terms - term: iPaaS definition: >- Integration Platform as a Service — the cloud-based delivery model for integration capabilities such as SAP Integration Suite, enabling connection of cloud, on-premise, and hybrid systems without managing middleware infrastructure. category: Platform Concepts - term: B2B Integration definition: >- Business-to-Business integration connecting external trading partner systems using standard electronic document formats such as EDI, AS2, AS4, and OFTP. category: Integration Patterns - term: A2A Integration definition: >- Application-to-Application integration connecting internal SAP and non-SAP systems within an organization's landscape. category: Integration Patterns
