Step 1 :

You can find your End Point URL from your CPI process after deploying the process.

 

Step 3 :

You can get your client id, client Secret and Token Endpoint from the SAP BTP cockpit of your CPI  http://account.hana.ondemand.com

In Cockpit : Make sure you are subscribed with Process Integration Runtime service, if not the go to Entitlements -> Entity Assignment. Then select your Subaccount in which you want to enable this service.

Now open your subaccount in which you have added the service.

Go to Services -> Service Marketplace - > Seach for the added Service and then click on create.

Make sure in the plan you have selected integration-flow and it will also ask you to create one space.

After creating the space and adding the service go to instance and add Service Key.

Then click on save.

After this,

Go to Security -> Authorizations -> Groups

And under admin assign oauth_client_{your_id} or you can create your own group for granting only oauth authentication

 

Now go to Intelligence Service Center in SuccessFacor's

and provide the credentials which we have created in Cockpit :

Client ID : The ID of cockpit.

Client Secret : The password which you have given in cockpit under Secret field.

Token End Point : You can find Token Endpoint from your cockpit. Go to, Security -> OAuth -> Branding

 

Click on add and then save the flow.
