C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
An integration developer must expose an integration flow so that an external partner can call it using a simple HTTPS request and receive a synchronous JSON response. The partner cannot handle SOAP or OData. Which adapter should be configured as the sender in the integration flow?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming any HTTP-capable adapter works, when SOAP and OData adapters enforce protocol-specific payloads that would break a plain JSON client.
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
The HTTPS sender adapter is the correct choice because it exposes a generic HTTP endpoint that accepts arbitrary payloads such as JSON and supports synchronous request-response processing. SOAP, OData, and IDoc adapters all impose protocol-specific payload structures that the partner explicitly cannot support.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
IDoc sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The IDoc sender adapter is designed to receive IDoc messages from SAP ABAP-based systems, not arbitrary HTTPS calls from external partners. It expects a specific IDoc structure and control record, which a partner sending plain JSON could not produce, making it entirely inappropriate here.
- ✗
SOAP 1.x sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The SOAP sender adapter expects SOAP envelopes and would reject a plain HTTPS JSON request. Since the partner explicitly cannot handle SOAP, this adapter is unsuitable. It also produces SOAP-specific error responses that the partner could not parse, making it the wrong choice for this scenario.
- ✗
OData V2 sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The OData V2 sender adapter exposes an OData service with specific URI conventions, metadata documents, and $filter semantics. The partner cannot handle OData, so exposing an OData endpoint would require the partner to change their client. This directly contradicts the stated constraint.
- ✓
HTTPS sender adapter
Why this is correct
The HTTPS sender adapter exposes the integration flow as a plain HTTP endpoint that accepts any payload, including JSON, and returns the response synchronously. It requires no SOAP envelope or OData conventions, so it matches the partner's capability and the synchronous JSON requirement precisely.
