1. What is SAP CPI?

Answer:
SAP CPI (Cloud Platform Integration), now part of SAP Integration Suite, is a cloud-based
middleware used to integrate cloud and on-premise systems using prebuilt or custom
integration flows (iFlows).

2. What is an iFlow in SAP CPI?

Answer:
An iFlow (Integration Flow) is the design-time artifact in CPI that defines how data moves
from a sender system to a receiver system. It contains steps like routing, mapping, message
transformation, etc.

3. What are the main components of the SAP Integration Suite?

Answer:

• Cloud Integration (CPI)

• API Management

• Integration Advisor

• Open Connectors

• Event Mesh

4. What are adapters in CPI?

Answer:
Adapters are connectors that allow communication with external systems. Examples:

• Sender Adapters: HTTP, SFTP, SOAP

• Receiver Adapters: REST, IDoc, JDBC

5. What is the difference between Header and Property in CPI?


Header Property

Can be passed to the target system Used internally within CPI

Typically used for HTTP/SOAP headers Used for routing and logic

Accessible via getHeader() Accessible via getProperty()

6. What is a Content Modifier in CPI?

Answer:
A Content Modifier is a step that sets or modifies:

• Message Body

• Message Headers

• Exchange Properties
It’s often used to initialize or update values during iFlow execution.

7. What is a Router in CPI?

Answer:
A Router is used to determine the flow path of a message based on conditions (like if/else).
It works like conditional branching.

8. What is a Message Mapping?

Answer:
Message Mapping allows graphical transformation between source and target data
structures. It includes:

• Standard functions

• Logical operators

• Arithmetic functions

• User-defined functions

9. What is the use of Groovy Script in CPI?


Answer:
Groovy scripts are used for:

• Custom logic or data manipulation

• Dynamic header/property setting

• Payload parsing or formatting

Example:

message.setHeader("Country", "IN")

10. What is a Data Store in CPI?

Answer:
Data Store is used to persist messages temporarily. It's helpful for:

• Retry logic

• Storing intermediate data

• Error handling

11. How do you monitor CPI messages?

Answer:
Through the Message Monitoring tab in the SAP BTP cockpit or Integration Suite UI:

• Track successful and failed messages

• Check logs, traces, and payloads

• Retry messages (if message store is enabled)

12. How do you test an iFlow in CPI?

Answer:

• Deploy the iFlow

• Trigger via Postman or browser (for HTTP/SOAP)

• Monitor using Message Monitor

13. What is a Splitter in CPI?


Answer:
A Splitter divides a large message into smaller parts for individual processing. Types include:

• General Splitter

• IDoc Splitter

• JSON/XML Splitter

14. What is a Groovy script to read a header in CPI?

Answer:

def myHeader = message.getHeader("HeaderName")

15. How do you handle errors in CPI?

Answer:

• Use Exception Subprocess

• Log error using Message Log
