SAP C_CPI_2506 SAP Certified Associate - Integration Developer Exam Practice Test

In SAP systems (e.g., S/4HANA, SAP Gateway), OData services follow a standard URL path:

/sap/opu/odata → The valid and official prefix for OData services.

Example: /sap/opu/odata/sap/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER

Other options:

/sap/opo/odata and /sap/odu/odata → Typographical variations, not valid.

/soap/opu/odata → Incorrect, since OData is not SOAP-based.

Thus, the valid prefix is /sap/opu/odata.

In SAP API Management (part of Integration Suite), an API Proxy acts as a façade for a backend service. You can create an API proxy directly from:

API Provider → An API provider represents the backend system (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, SAP Gateway, third-party services). Proxies can be generated from these providers.

Source URL → You can directly specify the backend system’s endpoint URL, and an API proxy will be generated from it.

Other options:

Open Connectors → Provides harmonized APIs to third-party apps (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot), but you don’t create proxies directly from them.

S/4HANA API → While S/4HANA APIs can be exposed, they are typically accessed via an API Provider or URL, not directly listed as a creation source.

The Apache Camel Data Model, which underpins SAP Cloud Integration’s message processing model, consists of:

Header → Metadata about the message (e.g., content type, correlation IDs).

Body → Main payload of the message.

Properties → Exchange-level metadata, persisted throughout processing but not transferred with the message.

Other options mix in elements like attachments or exchange IDs, but the standard messaging model is header, body, properties.

In SAP BTP, SAP Event Mesh provides messaging capabilities (queues, topics, and subscriptions) that require specific role collections to enable developers and administrators to perform tasks. SAP delivers two dedicated role collections for Event Mesh:

EventMeshDeveloper:

Manages queues and topic subscriptions

Monitors Event Mesh and its queues

Performs testing of queues and message flows

EventMeshAdmin:

Includes all developer capabilities

Provides additional administration rights for lifecycle management of Event Mesh instances and configurations

When a user is assigned these role collections, they gain the ability to:

Create and manage queues and topic subscriptions.

Monitor usage and resources such as queue depth, consumers, connections, and spool size within Event Mesh.

Other provided options are incorrect:

ApplicationAdmin/ApplicationDevelop → These are not SAP Event Mesh role collections, they do not provide queue or topic subscription access.

SecurityAdmin/SecurityDevelop → These roles are tied to security configurations and do not allow Event Mesh operations.

IntegrationAdmin/IntegrationDevelop → These roles belong to SAP Integration Suite (Cloud Integration) capability, not Event Mesh.

Therefore, the correct and verified answer according to SAP Integration Developer documentation is:

B. EventMeshAdmin and EventMeshDevelop

OData (Open Data Protocol) is a REST-based protocol standardized by OASIS and adopted widely in SAP systems.

It builds on HTTP as the communication protocol.

It uses AtomPub (Atom Publishing Protocol) and JSON as payload representation formats.

SOAP is not used for OData; instead, OData relies on REST principles.

TCP is the underlying transport layer, but OData is explicitly defined over HTTP.

Thus, the correct basis for OData is HTTP, AtomPub, and JSON.

In API Management (Integration Suite), when you configure an API provider of type Internet, the system checks connectivity by sending a request to the backend.

HTTP 200 → Success (OK). The endpoint is reachable and functioning.

401 (Unauthorized) → Authentication failure.

403 (Forbidden) → Authorization failure.

502 (Bad Gateway) → Network or proxy error.

Therefore, the successful response code indicating proper connection is 200.

In API Management (part of SAP Integration Suite), when you create an API Product (which bundles API Proxies for consumption):

Publishing is required before it becomes visible in API Business Hub Enterprise (Developer Portal).

If the product is not yet published, it remains in the design-time environment and is invisible to app developers.

Only published products are available for subscription and discovery.

Other options:

The product will not be shown grayed out or with a “not published” note; it simply won’t be visible at all in the Business Hub Enterprise.

Advantages of Cloud Integration capability in SAP Integration Suite:

Predefined scenarios → SAP delivers integration content packages (iFlows) that can be used directly.

No local installation → It runs as a cloud service, no on-premise setup required.

Other options:

Offline development is not supported (development happens in Web UI).

Customer-to-Customer (C2C) integrations are not a standard positioning; it’s mainly B2B, B2G, and SAP-to-3rd-party scenarios.

So, correct advantages are out-of-the-box scenarios and no local installation required.

In SAP Cloud Integration, dynamic configuration values (headers, properties, body elements) are accessed using Expression Language (EL) notation:

${header.<headerName>} → Accesses a message header value.

${property.} → Accesses a message property.

${body} → Accesses the payload.

Therefore, when you want to set an Entry ID in a Data Store Write operation using a header value, the correct syntax is ${header.receiver}.

For asynchronous processing in a SOAP adapter (SAP Cloud Integration):

Use Message Exchange Pattern = One-Way → Indicates no response is expected.

Choose Process Settings = Robust → Ensures message reliability and error handling in async flows.

Other combinations:

Request-Reply → Used for synchronous scenarios, not async.

WS Standard → Not the correct configuration for async reliability in CPI SOAP adapter.

Thus, correct async configuration is: One-Way + Robust.

In SAP Cloud Integration, the runtime message content, headers, and properties can be accessed using the Camel Simple Expression Language.

Examples:

${body} → Accesses the message payload.

${header.<headerName>} → Accesses message headers.

${property.} → Accesses integration properties.

Other options:

XML expression language → Not supported directly.

Spring expression language → Used in Spring apps, not in SAP CPI.

JavaScript expression language → Not used; JavaScript/Groovy scripts exist, but not for message expressions.

Thus, the correct language is Simple expression language.

In SAP Cloud Integration, during development and testing:

The Content Modifier can be used to insert or simulate payloads, headers, or properties.

This allows developers to test flows without requiring external calls.

Other options:

SOAP Adapter → Used for SOAP communication, not payload simulation.

General Splitter → Splits incoming payloads, doesn’t simulate.

Data Store Operations → Manages stored messages, not simulation.

Thus, the correct component for simulated payloads is Content Modifier.

SAP Event Mesh supports two key asynchronous messaging patterns:

Publish/Subscribe → Producers publish an event once, multiple subscribers consume independently.

Point-to-Point (Queue-based) → Messages sent from one producer to a single consumer via a queue.

Other options are incorrect:

Request/Reply → Synchronous pattern, not the focus of Event Mesh.

Multicast messaging → Not explicitly supported; handled through Pub-Sub.

Thus, Event Mesh supports Publish/Subscribe and Point-to-Point messaging patterns.

When using API Key authentication for HTTP(S) calls in SAP Integration Suite:

The API Key is typically included in the HTTP header (e.g., APIKey: or x-api-key: ).

Message headers are configured in the Content Modifier for outbound requests.

Other options:

Attachment → Used for file handling, not authentication.

Message body → Contains payload, not credentials.

Exchange property → Used internally within the flow, not sent externally.

Thus, the API Key must be placed in the Message header.

In SAP Integration Suite, the component responsible for delivering Cloud Events to message queues is Event Mesh.

Event Mesh handles event-driven communication and manages message queues like emis-s4hana-uc123.

Process Integration (PI/PO) is on-premise middleware, not part of Integration Suite cloud services.

API Management handles APIs, not messaging events.

Open Connectors provides connectivity to third-party SaaS apps, not queue management.

Thus, the Cloud Event is delivered to the message queue via Event Mesh.

In SAP Cloud Integration, an Exception Subprocess is used to catch and handle errors during message processing.

It is always triggered by an Error Start Event.

When an error occurs in the main process (e.g., mapping error, adapter error), control is handed to the Exception Subprocess.

Other start events (Message, Escalation, Normal Start) are not valid in an Exception Subprocess.

Hence, the correct event to start the Exception Subprocess is the Error Start Event.

In SAP Event Mesh, topic subscriptions follow a defined hierarchical string structure:

Namespace → Defines the domain or context (e.g., sap/s4/beh/businesspartner).

Topic name → Specifies the exact event (e.g., BusinessPartner/Changed).

Separators (/) → Used to concatenate namespace and event details into a full subscription string.

Other options:

API key, Client ID, and Authentication token → Used for connectivity but not part of the topic string.

Business Partner ID, Change type, Event timestamp → Payload details, not part of the subscription string.

Source/Target system → Not required for constructing the topic name.

Thus, the correct components are Namespace, Topic name, Separator.

Key API Management components in SAP Integration Suite:

API Designer → Used to design APIs, import specifications (OpenAPI, RAML), and define metadata.

Product → Groups one or more APIs into a package that can be published to API Business Hub Enterprise.

Other options:

Authorization Server → Part of security infrastructure, not a direct API Management component.

API Entity → Not a defined component; the actual entities are API Proxies, Providers, and Products.

Thus, correct components are API Designer and Product.
