C_CPI Practice Test 4 — 10 Questions

Question 1

An integration developer is building an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration that must process a large flat-file payload. The flow uses a Splitter with an XML path expression to divide the message into individual records. After splitting, each record must be processed in parallel to reduce total runtime, and the original message must be reassembled before the flow completes. Which configuration achieves this requirement?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Configure the Splitter with Parallel Processing enabled and define a Gather step with an appropriate timeout and aggregation expression.. Parallel processing on the Splitter distributes each split record to concurrent branches, reducing total processing time for large payloads. Reassembling the original message after these branches requires an explicit Gather step, which collects the individual messages and applies an aggregation expression and timeout. Together, parallel processing plus Gather satisfy both the performance and reassembly requirements in a single, supported configuration.

Answer

Configure the Splitter with Sequential Processing and rely on the built-in automatic aggregation that reassembles messages after sequential processing.

Answer

Configure the Splitter with Parallel Processing enabled and add a Content Modifier step to merge the split messages after processing.

Answer

Configure the Splitter with Sequential Processing and add a Multicast step after it to run the branches in parallel.

Question 2

An integration developer must split a large XML payload into individual messages and process them in parallel, but the order of the resulting records in the target system does not matter. The developer wants the split messages to be handled concurrently rather than sequentially. Which configuration on the Splitter step should the developer use?

Accepted Answer

Set the Splitter's processing mode to Parallel Processing on the split elements. When split records are independent and ordering is irrelevant, the Splitter's parallel processing mode is the correct lever. It emits one message per repeating element and hands those messages to multiple threads, raising throughput. Sequential mode, multicast, extra worker nodes, or a Gather step do not introduce the required element-level concurrency.

Answer

Set the Splitter to sequential processing and rely on the Parallel Multicast step instead

Answer

Set the Splitter to sequential processing and add a Gather step after it

Answer

Set the Splitter to sequential processing and increase the tenant's worker node count

Question 3

An integration developer needs to make an integration flow's processing logic reusable across multiple flows in the same SAP Cloud Integration tenant. The logic consists of a mapping step and a Groovy script that must be maintained in one place. Which TWO artifacts should the developer create to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

A Script Collection artifact containing the Groovy script. Reusable processing logic in SAP Cloud Integration is achieved by separating the mapping definition and the script into their own artifacts. A Message Mapping artifact centralises the structural transformation, and a Script Collection artifact centralises the Groovy code. Both can be referenced from multiple integration flows, so the logic is maintained in one place and consumed everywhere it is needed.

Answer

An OData API artifact exposing the mapping as a service

Answer

A Partner Directory entry storing the script as a binary parameter

Answer

A Value Mapping artifact containing the target field values

Question 4

An integration developer is configuring a SOAP receiver adapter in SAP Cloud Integration to call an external web service. The web service requires WS-Security with a username token for authentication. The developer has configured the adapter with the correct endpoint and credentials. However, the external service returns a fault indicating that the security header is missing. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The 'WS-Security' option is not enabled in the SOAP receiver adapter's 'Security' tab.. The SOAP receiver adapter includes a 'Security' tab where WS-Security can be enabled and configured with a username token. If this is not enabled, the adapter does not add the security header, causing the external service to reject the request with a missing security header fault. The other options do not directly cause this specific fault. Enabling WS-Security and configuring the username token is the correct resolution.

Answer

The 'Timeout' value in the adapter is too low, causing the request to be sent without the security header.

Answer

The 'Message Protocol' is set to 'SOAP 1.1' instead of 'SOAP 1.2'.

Answer

The 'Credential Name' in the adapter is not linked to a deployed User Credential artifact.

Question 5

You are creating an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration that must expose an OData V2 endpoint to receive sales order data from an SAP Fiori app. The endpoint should support query parameters like $filter and $top. Which adapter should you use as the sender, and what is the minimal configuration required?

Accepted Answer

OData V2 sender adapter with the address and a data model defined by an EDMX file or by importing the OData service metadata.. The OData V2 sender adapter is the correct choice to expose an OData endpoint in SAP Cloud Integration. It requires an address and a data model, typically provided by an EDMX file or by importing metadata. This enables support for OData query parameters such as $filter and $top, which are essential for Fiori apps. Other adapters do not natively support OData protocol semantics.

Answer

SOAP sender adapter with a WSDL that defines the sales order structure and WS-Security for authentication.

Answer

HTTPS sender adapter with an XSD schema for the sales order and a Content Modifier to parse query parameters.

Answer

IDoc sender adapter with an IDoc type for sales orders and a mapping to convert IDoc to OData.

Question 6

An integration developer needs to expose an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration as an HTTP endpoint that external partners can call using a custom URL path. Which adapter should be used as the sender in the integration flow?

Accepted Answer

HTTPS sender adapter. The HTTPS sender adapter is designed to expose an integration flow as an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint. It allows configuration of the address and a custom URL path, and it supports multiple HTTP methods, making it the correct choice for external partners to call the integration flow using a custom URL.

Answer

IDoc sender adapter

Answer

SOAP sender adapter

Answer

OData V2 sender adapter

Question 7

An integration developer is building an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration that must process a large flat-file payload. The flow uses a Splitter with an XML path expression to divide the message into individual records. After splitting, each record must be processed in parallel to reduce total runtime, and the original message must be reassembled before the flow completes. Which configuration achieves this requirement?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

SOAP (SOAP 1.x) receiver adapter. Consuming a WSDL-described SOAP service in SAP Cloud Integration requires the SOAP receiver adapter, which natively supports SOAP 1.x/1.2 and WS-Security UsernameToken. Importing the WSDL as an external definition lets the adapter bind to the correct operation and construct the SOAP envelope. Adapters such as OData, HTTP, and IDoc do not understand WSDL operations or WS-Security headers, so they cannot satisfy the authentication and message format requirements of this S/4HANA service.

Answer

OData V2 receiver adapter

Answer

IDoc receiver adapter

Answer

HTTP receiver adapter with SOAP action header

Question 8

An integration developer needs to expose an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration so that an external partner can send messages to it using a simple HTTPS POST with a JSON payload. Which sender adapter should be configured?

Accepted Answer

The HTTPS sender adapter, because it accepts inbound HTTP and HTTPS requests and can process JSON payloads.. The HTTPS sender adapter is designed to expose an integration flow as an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint that accepts inbound requests. It handles POST requests and can carry JSON payloads directly into the flow, matching the partner's simple HTTPS POST requirement. SOAP, IDoc, and OData sender adapters each impose their own protocol formats and would require the partner to conform to those formats rather than sending plain JSON.

Answer

The SOAP sender adapter, because it supports JSON payloads natively and can be invoked over HTTPS.

Answer

The IDoc sender adapter, because IDoc is the standard SAP format for partner communication and can carry JSON.

Answer

The OData sender adapter, because OData is built on HTTP and therefore accepts any JSON payload sent via POST.

Question 9

An integration developer needs to configure a scenario where SAP Cloud Integration sends messages to an SAP S/4HANA Cloud system using the OData protocol. The developer must ensure that the connection uses the tenant's own credentials and that the OData service is called with the correct HTTP method for creating a new entity. Which receiver adapter and HTTP method should be used?

Accepted Answer

OData V2 receiver adapter with HTTP method POST. The OData V2 receiver adapter is the correct choice for connecting to OData services in SAP S/4HANA Cloud. To create a new entity, the HTTP POST method is required as per the OData protocol. The adapter supports authentication using tenant credentials, ensuring secure and proper communication.

Answer

SOAP receiver adapter with HTTP method POST

Answer

OData V2 receiver adapter with HTTP method PUT

Answer

HTTP receiver adapter with HTTP method GET

Question 10

An integration developer is configuring a Message Mapping in SAP Cloud Integration. The source XML contains a repeating node `Items/Item` with child elements `Name` and `Quantity`. The target structure requires a single `TotalQuantity` element that sums all `Quantity` values across the repeating items. Which mapping function should be used to produce the `TotalQuantity` value?

Accepted Answer

Use the `sum` function from the Arithmetic functions category, applied directly to the `Item/Quantity` node with the context set to `Items`.. The `sum` function from the Arithmetic category is designed to aggregate a queue of numeric nodes into one total. Pointing its context at the repeating `Items` node provides the entire set of `Quantity` values, and the function returns a single numeric result mapped to `TotalQuantity`. Text or formatting functions cannot perform arithmetic aggregation, and post-mapping steps cannot replace the mapping's responsibility to build the target value.

Answer

Use the `concat` function from the Text functions category, applied to the `Item/Quantity` node, then wrap the result in `trim`.

Answer

Use the `formatNumber` function from the Formatting functions category on the `Item/Quantity` node with the context set to `Items`.

Answer

Use a Content Modifier step after the mapping to read the mapped `Quantity` element and accumulate the values with an XPath expression.
