Integration platforms are becoming more strategic

for businesses coping with increasingly heteroge-

neous and hybrid IT landscapes. Seamless integra-

tion across applications and systems — whether

they are SAP, non-SAP, on-premise, cloud, or hyper-

scaler systems — enable organizations to digitalize

their end-to-end processes and make the enterprise

more connected and intelligent. Forward-thinking

organizations are taking a holistic and strategic

approach to their enterprise integration initiatives

as they pursue digital transformation, embracing

the agility and simplicity of modern cloud-based

integration platforms as they move to more intel-

ligent solutions such as SAP S/4HANA and SAP’s

Intelligent Suite.

The right integration platform can help busi-

nesses achieve end-to-end process excellence across

their systems, simplify connected experiences for

customers, build business-to-business (B2B) net-

works and digital ecosystems, and innovate with

new business models, while also bringing along

the best of their existing integration investments.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite meets these

requirements by enabling holistic and out-of-the-

box integrations, including providing support for

cloud-to-cloud, ground-to-cloud, and ground-to-

ground integration scenarios, as well as emerging

integration scenarios involving mobile, Internet

of Things, and event-streaming technologies. At

the same time, it protects organizations’ existing

investments in SAP Process Integration and SAP

Process Orchestration integrations.

This article provides guidance for IT architects

to help them safely and successfully transition from

SAP Process Integration and SAP Process Orches-

tration to SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite. It

provides an overview of SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite and then walks through three actions

that are key to a successful transition, includ-

ing upgrading to SAP NetWeaver 7.5 (if an older

release is currently running out of maintenance);

building new integrations with SAP Cloud Plat-

form Integration Suite; and following best prac-

tices for moving existing integration scenarios to

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite. It also looks

at SAP’s roadmap for SAP Process Integration, SAP

Process Orchestration, and SAP Cloud Platform

Integration Suite to help organizations plan for the

journey ahead.

A Hybrid Integration Platform for Modern EnvironmentsSAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite is an open

and enterprise-grade integration platform that

runs on multi-cloud environments (see Figure 1).

It is SAP’s recommended integration platform

for simplifying and accelerating integrations for

both SAP and third-party integration scenarios.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite supports

integration in a holistic manner and provides pre-

built integration packages to enable accelerated

integrations. It supports a range of integrations,

including the integration of applications in the

cloud and on premise, master data integration,

B2B and electronic data interchange (EDI) inte-

gration, business-to-government (B2G) integra-

tion, data integration and pipelines, event-driven

integration, and integration based on application

programming interfaces (APIs). It also supports

design and runtime governance of APIs and acts

as the foundation for process excellence across the

value chain.

To safely and successfully transition to SAP

Cloud Platform Integration Suite while protecting

existing investments in SAP Process Integration

and SAP Process Orchestration, we recommend the

following three actions:

1. Upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.5. With lower ver-

sions reaching end of maintenance at the close of

2020, upgrade to the long-term supported release

of SAP NetWeaver, which is 7.5.

2. Build new agile integrations with SAP Cloud

Platform Integration Suite. Future-proof your

hybrid integration strategy by developing new

agile integrations — including ground-to-cloud,

ground-to-ground, cloud-to-ground, and cloud-to-

cloud integrations — using SAP Cloud Platform

Integration Suite.

3. Move existing integration scenarios to SAP

Cloud Platform Integration Suite. Follow best

practices to safely and securely move existing

integration scenarios to SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite.

The following sections walk through the details

of these recommended actions.

Action 1: Upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.5Many SAP customers already have a well-estab-

lished on-premise integration scenario based on

SAP Process Integration or SAP Process Orches-

tration, which are SAP’s traditional integration

middleware products for on-premise deployments.

SAP Process Integration, released in 2002, enables

message-based integration between systems in an

SAP landscape. SAP Process Orchestration, released

in 2011, is a more comprehensive solution that

combines SAP Process Integration, SAP Business

Process Management, SAP Business Rules Manage-

ment, and out-of-the-box B2B connectivity support

for EDI communications to meet most on-premise

integration needs.

Because mainstream maintenance for older

releases of SAP Process Orchestration and SAP Pro-

cess Integration — those based on SAP NetWeaver

7.1x, 7.3x, and 7.4 — will end after 2020 (see SAP

note 1648480), we strongly recommend that orga-

nizations running those releases first upgrade to

SAP NetWeaver 7.5 before moving to SAP Cloud

Platform Integration Suite. This way, customers

can protect their existing integrations and continue

to use their existing integration platform during

their SAP S/4HANA migration journey as well.

We recommend that customers migrate existing

dual-stack SAP Process Integration deployments

to the Java-based single-stack Advanced Adapter

Engine Extended (AEX) or to SAP Process Orches-

tration architectures, depending on the organiza-

tion’s requirements and license entitlements. With

SAP Process Orchestration, customers can address

a larger set of use cases — for example, both appli-

cation-to-application (A2A) and B2B integrations

and business process automation for both human-

and integration-centric scenarios. In addition, the

total cost of ownership (TCO) of the Java-based

single-stack installation options provided with SAP

Process Orchestration — in terms of hardware,

development, operation, and monitoring costs —

are 25% to 50% lower compared to the older SAP

Process Integration dual-stack architecture. Run-

time performance is also significantly higher due to

the optimized single-stack architecture, which pro-

vides a higher message throughput (approximately

twice as high) for asynchronous communication

and accelerated response times (approximately 10

times faster) for synchronous communication. For

customers that require minimal migration effort,

and do not require the benefits of a single-stack

architecture, a dual-usage SAP Process Integra-

tion architecture is available, but keep in mind

that new features will be focused on SAP Process

Orchestration.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite, release 7.5 of

SAP Process Integration and SAP Process Orchestra-

tion provides a built-in cloud integration runtime.

This is provided with any SAP Process Integration

or SAP Process Orchestration license, and it allows

SAP customers to take advantage of the prebuilt

integration packages provided with SAP Cloud

Platform Integration Suite while deploying the

actual integration scenarios on premise. In this

case, design-time work is done in the cloud while

deployment is through the on-premise runtime.

This approach combines the best of both worlds in a

hybrid architecture and is readily extensible, as it is

based on the Apache Camel standard.

SAP Process Integration and SAP Process Orches-

tration can be deployed in customer-managed

landscapes on premise and in multiple customer-

managed cloud environments. SAP Process Orches-

tration is also available as a managed cloud offering

as part of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud.

Upgrade or Migrate?When moving to SAP Process Integration, AEX,

or SAP Process Orchestration on SAP NetWeaver

7.5 from lower releases, customers can either

upgrade or migrate. The decision will depend on

criteria such as risk reduction, downtime, and

project timelines. An in-place upgrade is usually

much faster compared to a migration. However, by

performing a migration, the step-by-step process

enables better control of the scenarios and pro-

vides the ability to roll back if major issues arise in

the new environment. In this sense, a migration is

a lower-risk approach compared to an upgrade.

When moving from a dual-stack SAP Process

Integration system to a single-stack AEX or to SAP

Process Orchestration 7.5, migration is the only

option, and requires the following steps:

1. Install a new AEX or SAP Process Orchestration

system running side by side with an already-

existing SAP Process Integration dual-stack

system.

2. Synchronize the System Landscape Directories

between the source and the target landscapes.

3. Transport the Enterprise Services Repository

(ESR) objects from the source to the target

landscape.

4. Migrate the integration directory objects using

the built-in directory content migration tool.

5. Redesign ABAP-based artifacts — such as ABAP

mappings and cross-component Business Pro-

cess Management (ccBPM) processes — in the

target system.

6. If a third-party solution is used for B2B and EDI

integration, migrate that solution to the SAP Pro-

cess Integration B2B add-on and configure the

necessary settings — for example, set up partner

profiles and agreements in the trading partner

management system, convert the mappings, and

reconfigure the adapters.

7. Perform operational tasks, such as setting up new

message-based alerting.

8. Use the SAP Process Integration test tool to run

automated integration tests to reduce downtime.

9. Phase out the SAP Process Integration dual-stack

system once all the integration scenarios are live

on the target landscape.

Note that with support package 14 for release

7.5 of SAP NetWeaver, SAP provides a process inte-

gration test (PIT) tool that can be used to set up

and run automated integration scenario tests,

including automated regression tests and post-

migration tests.

Action 2: Build New Agile Integrations with SAP Cloud Platform Integration SuiteIf you haven’t already done so, start using SAP

Cloud Platform Integration Suite for running

cloud and hybrid integration scenarios. SAP

cloud-based integration platform

that connects and contextu-

alizes processes and

data while enabling

new content-rich applications to be assembled rap-

idly and with less dependence on IT teams. It offers

a way to deploy integration flows to any cloud infra-

structure provider as well as to SAP Process Orches-

tration, and it provides an easy-to-use and flexible

cloud environment to design, deploy, and monitor

hybrid integration scenarios.

With SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite, cus-

tomers can leverage prebuilt integration packages

from SAP and partners to get rich, out-of-the-box

integrations for SAP-to-SAP and SAP-to-non-SAP

integration scenarios up and running quickly.

These integration packages, available at SAP API

Business Hub, simplify and accelerate integrations

between business applications with predefined

semantic field-level mappings, integration flows,

and documentation in packages that can be con-

figured and deployed in the customer’s SAP Cloud

Platform Integration Suite tenants. SAP provides

full support and updates to the packages, which

reduces the effort required when application

interfaces change. Customers can also build new

integrations using SAP Cloud Platform Integra-

tion Suite for cloud-to-cloud, ground-to-cloud, and

even ground-to-ground integrations. SAP supports

hybrid deployment by embedding the cloud inte-

gration runtime in SAP Process Orchestration and

SAP Process Integration 7.5 and enabling deploy-

ment of new ground-to-ground integration scenar-

ios on premise.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite supports

a holistic set of integration approaches, including

process integration (that is, A2A and B2B integra-

tion); data integration; open API-based integra-

tions; and event-based, extensible integrations. It

provides full-featured API management capabili-

ties — ensuring enhanced support for API-based

digital business services — that support digital

transformations and help organizations extract

value from data lakes. SAP Cloud Plat-

form Integration Suite also supports

non-SAP-to-non-SAP integration

scenarios through a set of non-SAP

adapters and rich design-time tools,

which provide for a low- or no-code

integration approach.

The capabilities included with

SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite help

orga n i zat ion s

simplify and accelerate their integrations, includ-

ing access to 1,400+ prebuilt integrations; sup-

port for fully managed multi-cloud deployments;

deep native integration with SAP solutions; and

a foundation based on open standards, includ-

ing 1,200+ open APIs and 160+ open connectors

to third-party applications. Extending SAP Cloud

Platform Integration Suite with additional SAP

technologies provides further value for SAP cus-

tomers — for example, by enabling the use of SAP

HANA to deliver high-performance and secure

API-based digital business services, such as SAP

Data Intelligence to gather and deliver streamed

data and unstructured data and the Common Data

Model to ensure that enterprise applications have

common meanings and formats for data.

More detailed information on building new inte-

grations is available at the SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite product page.

Action 3: Move Existing Integration Scenarios to SAP Cloud Platform Integration SuiteAs part of a broad cloud strategy, or as part of a

digital transformation to SAP S/4HANA and SAP’s

Intelligent Suite, organizations should move their

integration scenarios to a deployment model that

is either cloud-based or a hybrid (with design time

in the cloud and runtime in the cloud or on prem-

ise). This will allow them to take advantage of cloud

qualities such as lower operational costs, choice of

deployment, flexible configuration options, and

regular platform updates. SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite supports all integration scenarios,

including cloud-to-cloud, ground-to-cloud, cloud-

to-ground, and ground-to-ground integrations. In

addition, there are best practices organizations can

follow when moving existing on-premise integra-

tion scenarios to SAP Cloud Platform Integration

Suite to ensure a successful transition.

Move All Cloud and Hybrid Integration Scenarios to SAP Cloud Platform Integration SuiteWhen migrating from a dual-stack SAP Process

Integration system to SAP Process Orchestration,

customers should move all cloud (cloud-to-cloud)

and hybrid (ground-to-cloud) integration scenar-

ios by default to SAP Cloud Platform Integration

Suite. Customers can connect SAP Cloud Platform

Integration Suite to the ESR of the SAP Process

Integration or SAP Process Orchestration system

and import the mappings and service interfaces.

This way, customers can reuse existing interfaces

and mappings when moving scenarios from SAP

Process Orchestration to SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite.

Use API Management for Pass-Through Integration ScenariosOrganizations often use a decentralized adapter

engine in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) for

pure pass-through integration scenarios. This is

a common setup to control authentication and

secure the message flow going into the network.

When reviewing the integration architecture, con-

sider moving pass-through integration scenarios

to API Management within SAP Cloud Platform

Integration Suite and then applying API security

best practices, traffic policies, and access controls

to your APIs. API Management provides a solu-

tion for the full lifecycle management of APIs. It

complements SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite

and SAP Process Orchestration by providing the

full lifecycle management of APIs, from design,

development, management, and usage analytics to

engaging with the developer community.

Use the Cloud Integration Runtime for Hybrid Deployments With SAP NetWeaver 7.5, SAP provides two messag-

ing runtime engines: a process integration messag-

ing runtime and a new cloud integration runtime.

The process integration messaging runtime is

mainly used for stateless message processing, and

integration scenarios running on this runtime are

fully designed and configured on SAP Process Inte-

gration or SAP Process Orchestration. The cloud

integration runtime on the other side supports the

integration flows developed on SAP Cloud Platform

Integration Suite. Modeling of the integration flows

is done on an SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite

tenant while the deployment can be realized either

in the cloud (for cloud-to-cloud and ground-to-cloud

scenarios) or on premise (for ground-to-ground

scenarios).

The cloud integration runtime is a modern run-

time that supports a flexible pipeline. The flexible

modeling and runtime capabilities of this runtime

support complex integration scenarios based on

well-established enterprise integration patterns.

For example, service and API composition scenarios

are easy to build with the flexible pipeline in the

cloud integration runtime compared to the more

static pipeline in the process integration messaging

runtime, because its runtime allows orchestration

of the message flow with pure low-code modeling

without the need for custom code. It also supports

stateful integration patterns, including aggrega-

tion, composed message processor, and scatter-

gather patterns.

If an organization has existing service and API

composition scenarios or integration-centric sce-

narios modeled with ccBPM in a dual-stack SAP

Process Integration system, we recommend that it

migrate these to SAP Cloud Platform Integration

Suite. For new, agile integrations, be sure to follow

best practices while building integration packages

and integration flows. These best practices include

recommendations for designing and building

enterprise-grade integration flows in a robust fash-

ion, and implementing commonly used enterprise

integration patterns such as content-based routing,

content enricher, splitter, aggregator, and scatter-

gather patterns.

The Path AheadSo, what’s next for SAP’s integration solutions?

Here, we summarize SAP’s current plans for SAP

Process Integration and SAP Process Orchestration

implementations, and for SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite (further details are available in SAP’s

online roadmaps).

Existing SAP Process Integration and SAP Process Orchestration ImplementationsWith the extension of maintenance for SAP

NetWeaver Java 7.5, customer investments in SAP

Process Orchestration and its components are

secure and supported until at least 2030. Existing

SAP customers will continue to benefit from new

cloud integration runtime capabilities that were

enabled with SAP Process Orchestration 7.5.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration SuiteSAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite with support

for multi-cloud and hybrid deployment is the hybrid

integration platform of choice for SAP customers.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite is available

as a fully SAP-managed multi-cloud offering that

can run on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure,

Alibaba Cloud, and SAP National Security Services

(SAP NS2) for FedRAMP customers, in addition to

SAP’s data centers. Customers adopting a hyper-

scale infrastructure provider strategy can leverage

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite in the public

cloud of their choice.

For customers that still require deployment

support in on-premise or private cloud environ-

ments, SAP will offer a hybrid deployment of SAP

Cloud Platform Integration Suite with the ability

to deploy independent of the full SAP NetWeaver

stack. The design, configuration, and monitoring

will be in the cloud — that is, on a customer’s

SAP Cloud Platform account — while the run-

time, known as the “integration cell,” will lever-

age container technology such as Docker, and

can be deployed and managed by customers. An

integration cell can host the customer’s required

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite services and

engines, such as SAP Cloud Platform Integration

Suite worker nodes for process integration, an API

gateway for enforcing security and traffic policies,

an enterprise messaging system for event-driven

integration, and a cloud connector for securing the

cloud-to-ground integrations.

This type of hybrid deployment provides addi-

tional flexibility on top of the fully managed

multi-cloud SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite

offering, and availability is planned for 2021. For

select regulated markets, SAP also plans to sup-

port a private cloud offering that can be completely

deployed in a private, on-premise environment. To

help with monitoring and operating these types

of hybrid, complex integration architectures, SAP

offers application lifecycle management (ALM)

solutions such as SAP Focused Run for SAP Solu-

tion Manager and SAP Cloud ALM, which provide

an end-to-end view of message exchanges and alerts

when exceptions occur.

For organizations that have already started

using the cloud integration runtime inside SAP

Process Orchestration, transitioning those inte-

gration scenarios to the new hybrid deployment

architecture can be easily done with minimal

effort. In addition, integration content built in

SAP Process Orchestration, such as mappings and

service interfaces, can be easily imported from

ESR to SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite. In

the roadmap for SAP Cloud Platform Integration

Suite, SAP will provide a self-service migration

tool to migrate integration scenarios from SAP

Process Orchestration to SAP Cloud Platform Inte-

gration Suite as customers move to the hybrid inte-

gration platform.

SummaryMany existing SAP customers have significant

investments in SAP Process Integration and SAP

Process Orchestration to support their enterprise

integration scenarios. To protect these investments,

SAP will continue to support these solutions and

help provide a seamless and safe transition to SAP

Cloud Platform Integration Suite, which is SAP’s

recommended technology for simplifying and

accelerating integration in both SAP and third-

party integration scenarios. SAP is providing this

support by extending mainstream maintenance for

SAP NetWeaver 7.5 until the end of 2027, as well

as offering extended maintenance until the end of

2030. In addition, SAP is allowing customers to con-

vert some old on-premise SAP Process Integration

and SAP Process Orchestration licenses to cloud

licenses to support the move to the cloud (ask your

account executive about the cloud extension license

conversion program).

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite is a valu-

able tool for solving modern integration problems

in the areas of lead to cash, recruit to retire, source

to pay, design to operate, and digital compliance,

for instance. By taking the three actions outlined in

this article — protect existing integration scenarios

by migrating them to SAP NetWeaver 7.5, build new

integrations with SAP Cloud Platform Integration

Suite, and safely move old integration scenarios to

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite — SAP cus-

tomers can ensure that their integrations success-

fully support their current and future needs.
