C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
You are configuring an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration that must expose an OData V2 endpoint to an SAP S/4HANA system. The S/4HANA system will call the integration flow synchronously. You have added an OData V2 sender adapter and need to define the address. Which configuration approach correctly exposes the integration flow as an OData service?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming any HTTP-based sender adapter can serve OData, when only the OData sender adapter generates the service document and metadata that OData consumers require.

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 the OData V2 sender adapter with an address path such as /Orders and deploy the integration flow; the service is then reachable at the tenant runtime URL plus that path.
Exposing an integration flow as an OData service requires the OData V2 sender adapter, which registers the flow as an OData endpoint at the tenant runtime URL plus the configured address path. Other sender adapters support different protocols and cannot generate OData service documents or metadata, so they cannot satisfy an OData-consuming S/4HANA caller.
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 SOAP sender adapter and enable the OData checkbox in the adapter's advanced settings to transform the endpoint into an OData service.
Why it's wrong here
The SOAP sender adapter exposes a SOAP web service endpoint and has no checkbox that converts it into an OData service. OData and SOAP are distinct protocols with different metadata and request formats. Using a SOAP sender would not present the OData service document and metadata endpoints the S/4HANA consumer expects.
- ✓
Configure the OData V2 sender adapter with an address path such as /Orders and deploy the integration flow; the service is then reachable at the tenant runtime URL plus that path.
Why this is correct
The OData V2 sender adapter exposes the integration flow as an HTTP-based OData endpoint. The address field defines the relative path appended to the tenant's runtime base URL. After deployment, the fully qualified service URL is formed from the runtime host and the configured address, allowing the S/4HANA system to consume it synchronously.
- ✗
Use an HTTPS sender adapter and manually add CSDL metadata documents to the integration flow resources so the endpoint behaves as OData.
Why it's wrong here
An HTTPS sender adapter accepts plain HTTP calls but does not generate or serve OData service metadata or handle OData query options. Manually adding CSDL files does not make the runtime OData-aware. The consumer would not receive a valid service document or $metadata response, so OData clients could not bind to it.
- ✗
Configure an IDoc sender adapter with an OData binding type and publish the integration flow to the SAP Business Accelerator Hub.
Why it's wrong here
The IDoc sender adapter is designed to receive IDoc messages from SAP systems, not to expose OData endpoints. Publishing to the SAP Business Accelerator Hub shares API artifacts and documentation but does not create a runtime OData service. This combination cannot provide the synchronous OData endpoint the S/4HANA system requires.
