C_CPI_2506 SAP Certified Associate - Integration Developer Question and Answers

In SAP Cloud Integration (part of Integration Suite), the Data Store operations allow temporary or persistent storage of messages for asynchronous processing or correlation.

WRITE → Used to save/store data (e.g., Customer ID) in the Data Store.

GET → Retrieves stored data.

SELECT → Reads stored data with filters.

POST → Not a valid Data Store operation in SAP CPI (it’s an HTTP verb).

Hence, to save a customer ID, the correct operation is WRITE.

For executing custom logic inside an integration flow:

Groovy script (via Script step) is the supported mechanism in SAP Cloud Integration.

External REST APIs can enrich data but are not for embedded custom logic execution.

Mule components are not part of SAP CPI.

Java connectors are not directly supported in SAP CPI runtime.

Thus, the best suited for executing custom logic is Groovy script.

In SAP Cloud Integration, an Exception Subprocess is used to catch and handle errors during message processing.

It is always triggered by an Error Start Event.

When an error occurs in the main process (e.g., mapping error, adapter error), control is handed to the Exception Subprocess.

Other start events (Message, Escalation, Normal Start) are not valid in an Exception Subprocess.

Hence, the correct event to start the Exception Subprocess is the Error Start Event.

SAP Event Mesh supports:

Publish/Subscribe → A single event published by a producer can be consumed by multiple subscribers.

Point-to-Point (Queue-based) → Messages sent directly from producer to consumer via queues.

Other options are incorrect:

Event Sourcing is not part of SAP Event Mesh capabilities.

Request/Reply is synchronous, not the main EDA pattern.

Choreography/Orchestration are higher-level process design concepts, not the eventing patterns.

In SAP Cloud Integration, the log levels are:

Info → Default, logs basic execution details.

Debug → Logs processing steps, but not message payload.

Error → Logs only failures.

Trace → Captures message payloads at specific processing steps, used for deep troubleshooting.

Thus, to examine payload at runtime, the log level must be set to Trace.

In SAP Cloud Integration, when defining Content Modifier properties, the Java data type names are case-sensitive.

Correct type → java.lang.String

In the configuration, java.lang.string was used (lowercase “s”), which causes a ClassNotFoundException, since Java cannot find the class.

Other options are correct in form:

Source Type = XPath → Valid.

Source Value = //ProductID → Valid XPath.

Name = ProductID → Valid.

Thus, the error occurred because of incorrect data type specification.

For a synchronous call to a remote HTTP API in an integration flow:

The OData adapter (or HTTP adapter) is used to perform synchronous request-reply communication with REST-based services.

AMQP → Messaging protocol, not synchronous.

SFTP → File-based transfer, asynchronous.

Mail → For SMTP/IMAP, not synchronous API calls.

Thus, the correct adapter for a synchronous remote API call is OData (or HTTP adapter, depending on configuration).

SAP Event Mesh supports two key asynchronous messaging patterns:

Publish/Subscribe → Producers publish an event once, multiple subscribers consume independently.

Point-to-Point (Queue-based) → Messages sent from one producer to a single consumer via a queue.

Other options are incorrect:

Request/Reply → Synchronous pattern, not the focus of Event Mesh.

Multicast messaging → Not explicitly supported; handled through Pub-Sub.

Thus, Event Mesh supports Publish/Subscribe and Point-to-Point messaging patterns.

Event-Driven Architectures (EDA) provide real-time responsiveness and resilience by:

Real-time data processing → Immediate reaction to business events (e.g., order creation, stock changes).

Decoupling of components → Producers and consumers are independent, allowing flexible scaling.

Fault tolerance → Failures in one component do not propagate due to event buffering and loose coupling.

Incorrect options:

A → Batch processing delays responsiveness.

C → EDA minimizes manual intervention.

D → Tight coupling is opposite to EDA principles.

In SAP Cloud Integration, integration flows are manipulated using a web-based graphical editor:

Allows drag-and-drop of adapters, mappings, scripts, and process steps.

Provides visual orchestration of message flows.

Command-line and raw code editors are not supported for iFlow design (though XML behind the iFlow exists, it is not directly edited by developers).

Thus, the editor is the Graphical editor.

XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a language designed to transform XML documents into other XML or text formats.

In SAP Cloud Integration, XSLT mapping can only be applied when the payload is in XML format.

For JSON payloads, you would first convert JSON → XML, then apply XSLT mapping.

Other options:

HTML → Not used for XSLT mapping.

JSON → Requires conversion first, cannot be directly used.

PHP → A programming language, unrelated to mappings.

In SAP API Management, supported API description languages include:

RAML (RESTful API Modeling Language)

OpenAPI Specification (OAS, formerly Swagger)

Both are industry-standard languages for modeling REST APIs.

Other options:

A. HTML → A markup language for UI, not an API modeling language.

D. CXML (Commerce XML) → A B2B procurement standard, not for API modeling.

When generating a Service Key for an SAP Integration Suite Event Mesh message client, the credentials contain details required for authentication and connection.

Event Mesh uses OAuth 2.0 client credential flow for secure access.

The Service Key includes:

Client ID

Client Secret

OAuth Token URL

These values are used by applications to authenticate and obtain tokens before accessing Event Mesh queues or topics.

Other methods (Basic Authentication, API Keys, X.509 certificates) are not used by default for Event Mesh service keys.

API Management in SAP Integration Suite supports HTTP-based protocols.

Supported → SOAP, OData, REST (OpenAPI).

Not supported directly → RFC and IDoc (these are legacy SAP protocols handled via Cloud Integration or On-Premise adapters, not via API Management).

Thus, the correct supported message protocols are SOAP and OData.

To activate Event Mesh (EMIS) capability in SAP Integration Suite, the required role collections are:

Integration_Provisioner → Allows provisioning of new capabilities (including Event Mesh) in Integration Suite.

Subaccount Administrator → Grants permission to manage and configure subaccount-level entitlements and service activations.

Other options:

Integration_Administrator, API_Manager, Monitoring_Viewer → Used for operational tasks, not provisioning.

Process_orchestrator → Refers to on-premise PI/PO, not BTP roles.

Security_Auditor → Auditing role, not activation.

Thus, the correct roles are Integration_Provisioner and Subaccount Administrator.
