Create a SAPDeveloper_ES5_Demo in the API Provider
Save and test connection then you will get the Green Tick.
Step 2 : Create API Proxy
Go to API Portal
Menu Develop at left pane
Tab APIs
Click Create
ESS_SAMPLE_BASIC_DEMO
Check the “Target End-Points”
And “Swagger”
ESS_SAMPLE_BASIC_DEMO

Step 3 Create API Product
Go to API Portal
Go to Develop at left pane
Tab Products
Click Create

1.Concept
API Provider
The API Provider is used to abstract the connection to the backend / target system
The API Provider will connect to backend system. Ex connect to SAP to collect ODATA service
collection. In fact, API Provider will connect to developer system where will create many
data service.
How to create - https://help.sap.com/docs/sap-api-management/sap-api-management-for-
neo-environment/create-api-provider
API Proxy
API Proxy is real API which contain logic to get data from DATA service layer. In this API Proxy
we can apply Policy Template for security, transform incoming message or look for content
injections.
API Product
API Product will bundles one or more API Proxies before they are exposed in the API
Developer Portal so they can be consumed by a developer.
2. Demo API management
In this section, we will discuss about how to create API Provider, API Proxy and expose many
API proxies by API Product.
We will ref to ODATA service collection which expose at SAP Gateway Demo ES5.
If you do not have account at SAP demo ES5, kindly click here to registry for free.
Step 1 : Create API Provider connect to backend SAP Gateway Demo ES5
Go to SAP BTP Cockpit
Go to sub account
Go to Instances and Services
Go to Integration Suite Application
Go to API Management
Go to Configure on left menu
Tab API Providers
Click Create.
Type Internet
Host sapes5.sapdevcenter.com
Port 443
SSL checked
Path Prefix /sap/opu/odata//IWFND
Service Collection
/CATALOGSERVICE/ServiceCollection
URL
Authentication type Basic
Username account login ES5
Password password ES5
Save
Test Connection
Step 2 : Create API Proxy
Go to API Portal
Menu Develop at left pane
Tab APIs
Click Create
Tab Overview
Tab Target Endpoint, we see that, this API Proxy use API Provider which connect to
backend of SAP gateway Demo ES5 in step 1
Tab Resources, we see a list of data service display in Swagger. We can run test every
data service
Save
Deploy API Proxy
For demo API Product can including one or more API Proxy, We will create one more API
Proxy with the same way above.
So, current we have two API Proxy
Next, we will create API Product bundles two API proxies.
Step 3 Create API Product
Go to API Portal
Go to Develop at left pane
Tab Products
Click Create
Tab APIs. Add two API Proxies in Step 2
NOTE : You can choose every API which including in API Proxy to expose
Publish API Product
Step 5 Exploring API Business Hub
After create API Product, we need monitoring, run test API Proxies in API Product. How can
we do? API Management in Integration Suite Application support one thing called is API
Management Business Hub. When we go to capacities of API Management, we see one
endpoint for this
Click on this endpoint, we will go to API Business Hub Enterprise and API product will in
there
Click on API Product, we will go to API Proxies.
Click on every API, we will go to detail of that API.
With API Business Hub, we can manage all our API in one hub.
Summary
In this article, I shared overview API Management of SAP Integration Suite. With this API
Management, we can create one or more API proxy and add into API Product for manage. I
also talk about API Business Hub after create API product to manage all our API which
expose to customer. Thanks for your reading and appreciate your comment if have any idea.
If have any question, kindly leave your comment on below this.
Thanks.
Joseph.
