What are all the possible scenarios to connect the SAP CPI system with S/4 Hana onprimse

[former_member197830]

Hi Experts,

Can any one explain what all the possible ways to connect SAP S/4 HANA on premise system to SAP CPI?

Can any one share the documents/blogs to connect the S/4 HANA system with CPI?

Thank you,

Hi Narasaiah

The main ways you are going to be interacting with the S/4HANA system on-premise is via either RFC, IDoc or HTTP (OData or SOAP). All those options are supported by CPI.

Since your S/4HANA system is on your internal network, CPI - running in the cloud - will not be able to reach it. The most common solution to this connectivity problem is Cloud Connector.

When Cloud Connector is installed on-premise, it opens an encrypted tunnel to your SAP Cloud Platform subaccount. You then configure which backend systems, you want to allow access to, and which specific resources on those backend systems.

From that point onwards, your CPI integration flows will be able to reach those allowed resources like e.g. OData services on your on-premise system.

Regards,

Morten

If you have any cloud connector documents please share to me

The documentation is here, and it's quite good, actually. Also, there are quite a few blog posts on the SAP Community site about Cloud Connector.

Thanks Morten,

Once we connect through cloud connector can we access RFC and basis in sap CPI ?

[MortenWittrock]

You will be able to call RFCs, yes.
