Cloud Integration
JMS receiver adapter: property to identify sending integration flow
We have extended the JMS receiver adapter by storing a new SAP_IntegrationFlowID property. It contains the ID of the integration flow that has sent the message through the JMS receiver adapter. The JMS consumer can use this property to define steps depending on the sending integration flow ID. Refer the documentation.
Inspect resource consumption through SAP Cloud ALM/SAP Focused Run
Inspection of your resource consumption has been available since the middle of last year. Now you may analyze the utilization of database and system resources through the health monitoring application of SAP Cloud ALM and SAP Focused Run. For troubleshooting bottlenecks caused by integration flows you may jump directly to the Inspect section of the Cloud Integration monitor.
Call to action: Upgrade to new version of third-party connectors
As per SAP note 3001980 the following previous adapter versions are deprecated since end of 2020: Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Dynamics, SugarCRM. There haven't been any new features or enhancements for these previous adapter versions. After the upcoming Apache Camel upgrade, the adapter versions will no longer run.
Action is required from the customer's side. Check all your tenants to see whether you have any kind of the above adapters still deployed. Please undeploy and delete the adapters. In case of question reach out to annemarie.kiefer@sap.com.
B2B Integration
We have extended the mapping functionality of the Integration Advisor capability to offer you more flexibility.
Duplicate nodes on target side in a MAG
When designing B2B integration scenarios you may have situations where certain information within the source structure needs to be mapped to only one node in the target structure. Now the mapping guidelines editor of the Integration Advisor capability enables you to duplicate group or leave nodes and map each source alternative to one of the reproductions. Refer to the documentation.
Definition of more complex code value mapping scenarios
You are now able to define local or global mappings of multiple code values at the source side to one code value at the target side. The value function now supports N:1 cardinality code value mapping ease e.g., situations where you have to map multiple partners or currencies.
API Management
Add metadata for OData-based API artifacts deployed on Edge Integration Cell
You can now supply an EDMX specification for API artifacts (API-led integration flows for deployment on Edge Integration Cell), that are based on OData APIs. This allows you to easily specify additional integration steps based on the resources of this API. See the detailed documentation.
Enhancement of security standards
As always, our intention is to offer the highest security standards to avoid attack vulnerabilities. Therefore, we encourage you to use strong certificates, and will no longer accept uploads to the Trust Store of weak customer-owned self-signed certificates or certificate chains used for mTLS handshakes. Consequently, the OpenSSL security level has been increased to level 2. See a comprehensive definition of security level 2 published on the OpenSLL site. For additional details please see note -3418201.
Policy templates
We have filled a small gap when applying policy templates to an API proxy. Default fault rules or post-client flows available within a policy template will now also be appended to the API proxy. Refer to the documentation.
Event-driven Integration
We have news regarding SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh our offering for distributed network of event brokers and sophisticated features.
Distributed tracing
We have extended SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh with a distributed tracing capability. Now you are able to trace the the lifecycle of events through OpenTelemetry, from the producing application across one or multiple event brokers to the receiving application.
Direct consumption of SAP S/4HANA Cloud events
We have an update regarding the event sources. We have enabled the direct consumption of SAP S/4HANA Cloud events into SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh without any intermediate hops. SAP S/4HANA Cloud customers may leverage SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh for very large projects, where performance is crucial. Read the documentation.
