C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
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?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse protocol-specific sender adapters such as SOAP or OData with the generic HTTPS sender adapter that handles arbitrary HTTP 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
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 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 used to receive IDoc messages from SAP systems, not to expose an HTTP endpoint. It does not provide a custom URL path for external partners to call using HTTP, so it is unsuitable for this requirement.
- ✗
SOAP sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The SOAP sender adapter exposes an endpoint that expects SOAP messages, not plain HTTP requests with a custom URL path. While it can receive HTTP-based SOAP calls, it is not the general-purpose HTTP sender for arbitrary HTTP methods and payloads.
- ✓
HTTPS sender adapter
Why this is correct
The HTTPS sender adapter allows an integration flow to be called via HTTP or HTTPS using a configured address and custom URL path. It supports various HTTP methods and is the standard way to expose an integration flow as an HTTP endpoint for external partners.
- ✗
OData V2 sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The OData V2 sender adapter exposes an OData service endpoint, not a generic HTTP endpoint with a custom URL path. It is designed for OData protocol interactions and would impose OData semantics, which is not what the scenario requires.
