Connecting to Azure Blob storage from SAP Cloud Platform Integration using Camel-Azure component

This blog is a continuation series of the earlier blog https://blogs.sap.com/2020/07/16/apache-camel-community-adapters-usage-in-sap-cloud-platform-integration/ ,  which talks about usage of Apache Camel Components as SAP Cloud Platform integration ADK compliant integration adapters in the integration flow.

In this series let us understand how to use the Apache Camel-Azure component as the SAP cloud platform integration adapter.

You can find the adapter artefacts in the SAP GitHub apibusinesshub-integration-recipes, whose link is provided below

https://github.com/sap/apibusinesshub-integration-recipes/tree/master/Recipes/for/azure-integration-adapter

In the Apache Camel Azure component, it looks for a bean to resolve the Azure cloud account credentials details, here in the code that bean lookup is bypassed with the manual credential configuration, which you have to provide in the project source.

Please import the project source in to Eclipse IDE using Maven project import wizard and edit the BlobServiceComponent.java class ,CreateEndpoint method and provide the Azure cloud account credential configuration as shown below:

You have to configure account name and account secret, which you can obtain from Azure Blob Storage account Portal

After doing the changes, build the project using “maven clean install” and generate the adapter ESA file. which you have to deploy in to the CPI integration runtime

Deploy the Integration adapter ESA file on to the SAP cloud platform integration runtime

After successful deployment you can see the adapter under the deployed artefacts

As a next step You can import the integration flow, which is provided as a part of artefacts, which demonstrate the usage of the Apache Camel Azure component

After importing the integration flow, you can provide Azure Blob storage container configuration

you can see an example configuration shown in the adapter property sheet

Input provided in the Integration Flow for storing the message payload into the Azure block blob Storage

After providing all the configuration, save/deploy the integration flow and check that the integration flow message processing successfully completed in the CPI monitoring.

You can see the Exchange payload from CPI iFlow message processing getting stored as a Azure Block blob

You can view the Blob file content, you can see the Exchange payload

Also going forward, we continue to provide more samples of Apache Camel components (https://github.com/apache/camel/tree/master/components  ) as Cloud integration ADK Compliant adapters. Here all the components we provide based on Apache Camel version 2.17.4.
