C_CPI Practice Test 9 — 10 Questions

Question 1

An integration developer is designing an integration flow that must call an external REST API and must handle errors so that a failed call triggers a retry and, if the retry also fails, sends an alert. Which TWO steps should the developer include in the integration flow? (Choose two.)

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

Accepted Answer

Configure the receiver channel with retry settings or wrap the call in a looping process that retries on failure.. Handling a flaky external API requires retry logic, which can be configured on the receiver channel or implemented with a loop that re-invokes the call. When retries are exhausted, an Exception Subprocess catches the failure and can send an alert. Together these two steps implement the required retry-then-alert behavior, while the other options neither retry the call nor raise an alert.

Answer

Add a Message Mapping step that transforms the error response into the request payload.

Answer

Configure a JMS queue to store the request and have a separate flow poll it indefinitely.

Answer

Add a Content Modifier that sets the HTTP status code to 200 before the call.

Question 2

An integration developer needs to create a reusable script that can be called from multiple integration flows in SAP Cloud Integration. The script must be version-controlled and accessible across the tenant. Which artifact should the developer use?

Accepted Answer

A Script Collection. The Script Collection is the designated artifact for storing reusable scripts in SAP Cloud Integration. It allows developers to maintain a single version of a script and reference it from any integration flow, promoting code reuse and easier maintenance. Message Mapping, Integration Flow, and Value Mapping artifacts serve different purposes and do not provide a centralized script repository.

Answer

A Value Mapping artifact

Answer

A Message Mapping artifact

Answer

An Integration Flow with a Script step

Question 3

An integration developer is configuring a Message Mapping in SAP Cloud Integration. The target structure requires an element named CustomerSegment that must be populated from a source field called Tier, but the mapping must also preserve any whitespace-insensitive value and strip surrounding spaces before assignment. Which step should the developer add in the mapping to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Add a standard function and select trim before assigning the source field to the target element.. The trim standard function is the purpose-built mapping function for removing leading and trailing whitespace from a string. Applying it to the Tier source field before it is assigned to CustomerSegment normalizes the value exactly as required. Other approaches either do not target the field, operate outside the mapping context, or unnecessarily post-process the entire message.

Answer

Use a Content Modifier step before the mapping to set a property with the trimmed value.

Answer

Configure a Groovy script step after the mapping that removes whitespace from the target payload.

Answer

Add an ifWithoutElse standard function and map Tier directly to CustomerSegment.

Question 4

An integration developer is designing an integration flow that must call an external REST API and must handle errors so that a failed call triggers a retry and, if the retry also fails, sends an alert. Which TWO steps should the developer include in the integration flow? (Choose two.)

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

Accepted Answer

Configure the JMS sender adapter with transaction type Exactly Once and ensure the queue is configured as a persistent queue.. Exactly-once processing with no message loss requires two elements: a persistent JMS queue that survives restarts, and the Exactly Once transaction type on the JMS sender adapter so acknowledgment is tied to successful flow completion. Best Effort or None transaction types acknowledge messages prematurely, and non-persistent queues lose data on restart, so only the combination of a persistent queue and Exactly Once satisfies the requirement.

Answer

Configure the JMS sender adapter with transaction type None and rely on the default retry settings of the runtime.

Answer

Configure the JMS sender adapter to use a non-persistent queue and set the Maximum Retries to a high value.

Answer

Configure the JMS sender adapter with transaction type Best Effort and enable the Retry on Failure option in the adapter settings.

Question 5

An integration developer is configuring a SOAP receiver adapter in SAP Cloud Integration to call an external SOAP service that requires WS-Security UsernameToken authentication. The developer must also ensure the message is signed. Which TWO actions must be performed to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Enable the WS-Security signing option in the SOAP receiver adapter and configure the keystore alias for the signing key.. Meeting both WS-Security UsernameToken authentication and message signing requires configuring the SOAP receiver adapter's WS-Security authentication option with secure credentials, and enabling the signing option with a keystore alias. These adapter settings generate the correct SOAP security headers and XML signature that the external service validates.

Answer

Create a PGP key pair in the tenant keystore and reference it in the SOAP receiver adapter's encryption settings.

Answer

Add a Message Mapping step that inserts a UsernameToken element into the SOAP header before the receiver call.

Answer

Set the SOAP adapter's message exchange pattern to one-way and add a digital signature to the payload using a Groovy script.

Question 6

A developer is building an integration flow that calls an external system using the HTTP receiver adapter. The external system requires that a custom header named X-Correlation-ID be sent with each request. The value must come from a property set earlier in the flow. Where should the header be defined so it is sent on the outbound request?

Accepted Answer

In the HTTP receiver adapter's 'Custom Headers' section, referencing the property with an expression such as ${property.correlationId}.. Outbound HTTP headers are controlled at the receiver adapter, which offers a Custom Headers table that accepts expression-language values. Referencing the property there ensures the value is resolved and sent. Content Modifier placement, sender adapter settings, and externalized parameters all operate at the wrong layer or timing to affect the outbound request headers.

Answer

In a Content Modifier step placed after the receiver adapter, setting the header on the message.

Answer

In the sender adapter configuration, adding the header to the inbound request handling.

Answer

In the integration flow's runtime configuration artifact, declaring the header as an externalized parameter.

Question 7

An integration developer is configuring a SOAP receiver adapter in SAP Cloud Integration to call an external web service that requires WS-Security UsernameToken with a password digest. The developer has configured the adapter with the correct alias for the private key and the user credentials. During testing, the external service rejects the request with a security fault stating that the digest is invalid. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The password stored in the security material contains a trailing space or special character that does not match the password expected by the external service.. WS-Security UsernameToken password digest is a hash over the password, nonce, and timestamp. Any discrepancy in the stored password, including invisible characters or incorrect escaping, changes the digest and triggers an invalid digest fault. Verifying the exact password in the security material and ensuring it matches the external service expectation resolves the issue.

Answer

The external service expects the digest to be computed using SHA-256, but SAP Cloud Integration always uses SHA-1 for UsernameToken digests.

Answer

The SOAP adapter was configured with the WS-Security option 'Sign and Encrypt' instead of 'Username Token', so the digest was not generated correctly.

Answer

The SOAP adapter does not support WS-Security UsernameToken with password digest and only supports plain text passwords.

Question 8

You need to configure an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration to receive messages from an external partner via HTTPS. The partner will send messages to a specific endpoint and expects a synchronous response. Which sender adapter should you use?

Accepted Answer

HTTPS sender adapter. The HTTPS sender adapter is the correct choice for receiving messages from an external partner over HTTPS with a synchronous response. It supports standard HTTP methods and can be configured with authentication and endpoint settings. Other sender adapters are protocol-specific and do not match the plain HTTPS requirement.

Answer

SOAP sender adapter

Answer

IDoc sender adapter

Answer

OData sender adapter

Question 9

An integration developer must expose an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration as an HTTPS endpoint that an external partner will call synchronously. The partner will authenticate using a client certificate (mutual TLS). Which configuration must the developer perform on the HTTPS sender adapter to accept and validate the partner's client certificate?

Accepted Answer

Set the sender adapter's Authorization to 'Client Certificate' and reference a deployed Keystore artifact containing the partner's trusted root certificate.. Mutual TLS on an inbound HTTPS endpoint in Cloud Integration requires selecting Client Certificate authorization on the HTTPS sender adapter and referencing a Keystore artifact that holds the partner's trusted certificate chain. User Role authorization, User Credentials artifacts, and public access with IP allowlisting all fail to perform certificate-based client authentication, so only the Keystore-backed client certificate configuration meets the requirement.

Answer

Deploy the partner's client certificate as a 'User Credentials' security artifact and select it in the sender adapter.

Answer

Set the sender adapter's Authorization to 'User Role' and assign the partner's user to the ESBMessaging.send role.

Answer

Enable 'Allow Public Access' on the sender adapter and rely on IP allowlisting for authentication.

Question 10

An integration developer needs to persist a message to a data store so that a later integration flow run can check whether the same message was already processed. Which SAP Cloud Integration step should be used to store and retrieve this state across flow executions?

Accepted Answer

A Write step followed by a Read step in the Data Store operations.. Data Store operations are the tenant-local persistence mechanism for integration flows. Writing the processed message identifier and later reading or selecting it lets a subsequent run detect duplicates or share state across executions. Headers and properties are scoped to a single exchange, and no Persist step exists, so the Data Store approach is the correct fit.

Answer

A Persist step configured with the message payload.

Answer

A JMS queue sender adapter configured with a durable subscription.

Answer

A Content Modifier that sets a property with the message identifier.
