C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
An integration developer is creating an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration that must be triggered by an external system sending an HTTP POST request with a JSON payload. The developer needs to define the endpoint and ensure the payload is available to subsequent steps. Which sender adapter should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the HTTP receiver adapter, which sends outbound calls, with the HTTPS sender adapter, which receives inbound requests.
Answer choices
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
✓
HTTPS sender adapter
To let an external system trigger an integration flow with an HTTP POST carrying JSON, the flow must start with an HTTPS sender adapter. This adapter creates a callable endpoint and delivers the incoming payload as the message body, making it available to all subsequent steps for processing.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
HTTP receiver adapter
Why it's wrong here
The HTTP receiver adapter is used to send messages outbound from the integration flow to an external HTTP endpoint. It cannot initiate a flow or receive an incoming POST request, so it does not provide the required trigger or make the external payload available to the flow.
- ✗
SOAP sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The SOAP sender adapter exposes a SOAP endpoint and expects a SOAP envelope, not a plain JSON payload. An external system sending a JSON POST would not be correctly parsed by this adapter, and it would reject or fail to process the request as intended.
- ✗
OData V2 sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The OData V2 sender adapter exposes an OData service endpoint with OData semantics, not a generic HTTP endpoint for arbitrary JSON payloads. It is intended for OData clients performing entity operations, so it does not match the requirement of receiving a plain JSON POST from an external system.
- ✓
HTTPS sender adapter
Why this is correct
The HTTPS sender adapter exposes an HTTP endpoint on the tenant that external systems can call with POST requests. It receives the JSON payload and makes it available as the message body to subsequent steps, which is exactly the requirement for an externally triggered JSON integration flow.
