The foundation of SAP Integration Suite is SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). It is an offering
as a platform and provides many different services in 5 key areas:
Application development
Automation
Integration
Data and analysis
Artificial intelligence
Once you have access to SAP BTP, you can start testing the services, including the Suite.
SAP Integration.
The SAP Integration Suite service is a set of different capabilities that can
operate separately or together to implement any current integration use case or
future. Large organizations must seek a way to optimize their
integration projects. Whether through mergers and acquisitions, regular changes in your
architecture or simply to be more efficient in their integration projects.
More and more companies are relying on modern interfaces, especially REST APIs, to create
integrations or applications. The proliferation of REST APIs makes it absolutely necessary
the use of a building block of central government.
Within SAP Integration Suite, that would be SAP API Management.
SAP API Management provides:
Security (who has access to which API)
Mediation (add, delete, modify payload information or metadata)
Traffic management (protect your API from attacks or sudden spikes in requests)
Analytics (see who is using which API and to what extent)
Documentation (provide information about your APIs in a simple way)
API Management is based on a request-response pattern in which you configure 'policies'
predefined to run during an API call.
But SAP API Management also comes with a 'Developer Portal' (API Business Hub
Enterprise) that is consumer-oriented and provides:
Documentation
Testing capacity
Code fragments
subscription capacity
This allows for very simple interaction with developers or integration experts.

Whether you want to develop an integration or an application, you will need to have access to
functions and backend data. Ideally, this access is done through a REST API

When it comes to business-to-business (B2B) integration, it's not just important to connect
technically with the partners, but also to manage that ecosystem.
This is what Partner Management is

Let's be realistic: there are many integration scenarios that have already been implemented by
other customers. Let's say you want to send order information to a supplier via
IDOC and ASC X12. Focus on a specific region and a specific industry, and you can
be sure that your B2B integration looks 90% like someone else's.
That is why the content advisor of SAP Cloud Platform integration: based on a database
from knowledge data and machine learning, you can obtain proposals for interfaces and
assignments that match your own use case.
The integration content advisor of SAP Cloud Platform is not just a tool for
mapping; it is a cloud-based and crowd-sourced design time to create and maintain content
of integration, regardless of the platform on which the content is processed. The
The main objective of the integration content advisor is to provide creation and
maintenance of intelligent and efficient content at the enterprise domain level forsupport to
the experts and integrators. Artificial intelligence (AI) supports the entire approach to achieve the
much faster, with greater flexibility and significantly higher quality.
The integration content advisor unifies all necessary components with a strong
focus on usability, comprehensibility, reusability, flexibility, transparency and
speed. The advisor accepts all types of integration content, whether application to application
(A2A), from business to business (B2B) or from business to government (B2G).

way of making integration, that is. to transition to modern tools that
they provide all the capabilities required in a cloud-oriented and API-driven world.
SAP Integration Suite offers a way to make a smooth transition between SAP Process
Integration (SAP PI) and SAP Cloud Integration.
This journey begins with the SAP migration assessment that allows customers to estimate
the technical efforts involved in the process of migrating from SAP PI to SAP Cloud
Integration. But it also assesses whether and how various integration scenarios can be migrated.
This is done through the extraction and evaluation of design time artifacts

This capability is complemented by the new cloud integration capability for

Basically, that migration function allows you to choose any SAP PI ICO and carry out a
automatic migration of your content to a SAP Cloud Integration package.
