C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
An integration developer deploys an integration flow with an HTTPS sender adapter. The flow must expose two different operations, one for creating sales orders and one for querying them, distinguished by the URL path. The developer wants both operations handled within a single integration flow. Which approach is most appropriate?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that differentiating operations requires multiple sender adapters or deployments, when the URL path is already exposed as a runtime header.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure a single HTTPS sender adapter with a specific address, then use a Router step that evaluates the camelHttpPath header to branch to the appropriate subprocess.
The incoming URL path is available at runtime as the camelHttpPath header, so a single sender adapter can serve multiple operations. A Router step evaluating that header directs each request to the correct branch within one integration flow. This satisfies the requirement of a single deployable artifact while cleanly separating the create and query operations by their distinct paths.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a single integration flow with an HTTPS sender adapter and use a Content Modifier to set a header named Operation based on the HTTP method, then route on that header.
Why it's wrong here
Routing on the HTTP method cannot distinguish two operations that may both use the same verb, such as POST for create and POST for query. The scenario requires differentiation by URL path, not by method. Setting a header based on the method would cause both operations to be routed identically whenever they share a verb, breaking the intended separation.
- ✓
Configure a single HTTPS sender adapter with a specific address, then use a Router step that evaluates the camelHttpPath header to branch to the appropriate subprocess.
Why this is correct
A single sender adapter can receive all requests, and the integration flow can inspect the camelHttpPath header, which contains the incoming URL path. A Router step with conditions on that header directs each request to the correct subprocess. This keeps both operations in one deployable artifact and cleanly separates them by path, exactly as the scenario requires.
- ✗
Configure two separate HTTPS sender adapter channels, each with a different address, and deploy the integration flow twice with different endpoints.
Why it's wrong here
Deploying the same integration flow twice with different sender addresses creates duplicate runtime artifacts and complicates lifecycle management. While it technically separates the operations, it violates the requirement of handling both within a single flow. This approach also multiplies the number of deployed artifacts to monitor and increases the risk of configuration drift between the two copies.
- ✗
Use a single HTTPS sender adapter with the address set to a wildcard, then use a Router step with XPath conditions on the request payload to branch to the appropriate subprocess.
Why it's wrong here
Routing on the payload rather than the URL path does not satisfy the requirement that the operations be distinguished by URL path. Clients calling different paths would still hit the same processing logic unless the path is evaluated. This approach also fails when the payload is empty or when the same payload structure is used for both operations, making path-based differentiation impossible.
