C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
You need to expose an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration as an HTTP endpoint that a partner can call. The partner will send a JSON payload and expects a JSON response. Which sender adapter should you configure on the integration flow?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is overthinking the adapter choice and selecting SOAP or OData because they are also HTTP-based, when the requirement is simply a generic JSON-over-HTTP endpoint.
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 creates a generic HTTP endpoint that accepts arbitrary content types such as JSON. SOAP, IDoc, and OData senders each impose a specific protocol contract that would reject or misinterpret a plain JSON request from a partner.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
OData V2 sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The OData V2 sender adapter exposes the flow as an OData service with a specific URL structure and metadata contract. A partner calling a plain HTTP endpoint with JSON would not match the OData protocol expectations, so this adapter is incorrect here.
- ✓
HTTPS sender adapter
Why this is correct
The HTTPS sender adapter exposes the integration flow as an HTTP endpoint and accepts any content type, including JSON. It is the standard choice for REST-style partner integration where the caller sends JSON and expects a JSON response.
- ✗
IDoc sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The IDoc sender adapter is designed to receive SAP IDoc messages, typically from an SAP backend system. It cannot accept a generic JSON payload from an external partner, so it is not suitable for this REST-style scenario.
- ✗
SOAP sender adapter
Why it's wrong here
The SOAP sender adapter expects a SOAP envelope with an XML body. A partner sending plain JSON would receive a fault or a parsing error, so this adapter does not match the stated JSON request and response requirement.
