Dear Experts,
Need you help in understanding the connectivity options we have in order to connect our On-Premise ERP systems with Cloud via SAP CPI/HCI.
I have gone through multiple blogs and articles but I am still not manage to get a clear understanding.
Listing few of my doubts below:
1. Is it mandatory to have either Web Dispatcher or SAP Cloud Connector to have a secure connection between On-premise ERP systems and CPI/HCI in order to connect to SAP/Non SAP cloud?
2. Does CPI/HCI always comes with both Data Integration and Process Integration capability or do we need to decide which one is needed based on our requirement?
3. Is CPI/HCI Data Integration same as HCI-DS? Is HCI-DS agent different from Cloud Connector?
4.
i) How can we do IDOC based outbound/Inbound communication between On-premise ERP systems and SAP Cloud Platform via CPI/HCI?
ii) Does Cloud Connector supports IDOC/proxy communication outbound from on-premise ERP systems?
iii) Can IDOC communication be done without cloud connector?
I have few more doubts which probably will get clear if discussion starts.
BR,
Shashank
