Learn moreHow does it work?
ASAPIO Connector for Confluent is based on ASAPIO Integration Add-on, a proven SAP-certified solution and robust framework for many integration use-cases.
The Connector communicates with a REST proxy, in a push mode for outbound messages and a pull mode for inbound messages. The REST proxy directly communicates with Confluent Platform or Cloud.
Out-of-the-box connectivity, with just a few configuration steps
- Enter connection data to the REST proxy end-point
- Configure the required authorization data on Connector side
- Configure your message type and payload
- Choose the applicable SAP business object event and link it to your just created message type
- Choose between real-time / single-event mode or batch driven mode
- Activate the connection
Create outbound event messages code-less
Easily configure your event message payload, code-less or low-code, based on following options
- Built-in Event Notifications (compatible with S/4HANA notification messages for SAP Event Mesh)
- Built-in Message Modeller - configure fields and tables, including joins/hierarchy structures
- Use attributes from the linked SAP application business objects
- Create a custom extraction handler, with ABAP® code
Built for performance
ASAPIO Integration Add-on is built for large data volumes and lowest system impact: e.g. use our multi-threading mode for batch loads, including a split function for micro-batching of large data chungs. The single-event-mode has close to zero latency. At our customer base we see only minimal system performance impact in daily operation.
