## Capability Overview
### Cloud Integration
Build and run integration flows across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid landscapes for A2A, B2B, and B2G scenarios. Supports 80+ adapters and real-time message processing.
**Core Components**:
- Integration Flows (iFlows) - Visual message processing pipelines
- Adapters - Protocol/application connectors (SFTP, HTTP, OData, RFC, AMQP, Kafka, etc.)
- Message Mapping - Graphical/XSLT/Groovy transformations
- Data Stores & Variables - Persistence for stateful processing
- Security Material - Keystores, credentials, PGP keys
### API Management
Complete API lifecycle management with security, traffic control, and developer engagement.
**Core Components**:
- API Proxies - Facade layer for backend services
- Policies (34 types) - Security, traffic, mediation rules
- Developer Hub - API portal for developers
- Products - API bundles with access control
- Analytics - Usage metrics and insights
### Event Mesh
Publish and consume business events across your enterprise ecosystem for event-driven architectures.
### Edge Integration Cell
Hybrid runtime for processing data within private landscapes while designing in the cloud. Deploy on Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, RKE2).
### Integration Advisor
AI-powered B2B content development supporting UN/EDIFACT, SAP IDoc, ASC X12. Creates Message Implementation Guidelines (MIGs) and Mapping Guidelines (MAGs).
### Trading Partner Management
Streamline B2B relationships with partner profiles, agreement templates, and automated runtime artifact generation. Supports AS2, SFTP, FTP protocols.

## Cloud Integration Development
### Integration Flow Structure
```
Sender → [Adapter] → Integration Process → [Adapter] → Receiver
↓
┌────────────┴────────────┐
│ Message Processing │
│ - Content Modifier │
│ - Router/Filter │
│ - Mapping │
│ - Splitter/Aggregator │
│ - Script │
│ - External Call │
└─────────────────────────┘
```
### Common Flow Steps
| Category | Steps |
|----------|-------|
| Routing | Router, Filter, Multicast, Recipient List |
| Transformation | Content Modifier, Mapping, Converter, Script |
| Splitting | General Splitter, Iterating Splitter, EDI Splitter |
| Persistence | Data Store, Write Variable, JMS Send |
| External | Request Reply, Send, Poll Enrich, Content Enricher |
| Security | Encryptor, Decryptor, Signer, Verifier |
| Error Handling | Exception Subprocess, Escalation Event |
### Adapter Categories
**Protocol Adapters**: HTTP, HTTPS, SFTP, FTP, AMQP, JMS, Kafka, AS2, AS4, SOAP, OData
**Application Adapters**: SuccessFactors, Ariba, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday
**Database Adapters**: JDBC (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, HANA, DB2)
**Cloud Adapters**: AWS (S3, SQS, SNS), Azure (Service Bus, Storage), Google Cloud
### Scripting Guidelines
**Prefer standard steps over scripts**. When scripting is necessary:
```groovy
// Access message body
def body = message.getBody(String.class)
// Access headers
def header = message.getHeader("HeaderName", String.class)
// Access properties
def prop = message.getProperty("PropertyName")
// Modify body
message.setBody(newBody)
// Add header
message.setHeader("NewHeader", "value")
// Logging (use SLF4J)
def log = org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger("script")
log.info("Processing message")
```
**Best Practices**:
- Use `XmlSlurper.parse(Object)` instead of `parseText(String)` for large payloads
- Use `StringBuilder` for string concatenation
- Never use `TimeZone.setDefault()` (VM-wide impact)
- Never write credentials to headers (tracing exposes them)

## API Management Development
### API Proxy Structure
```
Client → Proxy Endpoint → [Policies] → Target Endpoint → Backend
↓ ↓
PreFlow PreFlow
Conditional Flows Conditional Flows
PostFlow PostFlow

Fault Rules Fault Rules
```
### Policy Categories
| Category | Policies |
|----------|----------|
| Security | OAuth 2.0, Verify API Key, Basic Auth, SAML, Access Control |
| Traffic | Quota, Spike Arrest, Concurrent Rate Limit, Response Cache |
| Mediation | Assign Message, Extract Variables, JSON/XML Transform, XSL Transform |
| Extension | JavaScript, Python Script, Service Callout |
| Threat Protection | JSON/XML Threat Protection, Regular Expression Protection |
| Logging | Message Logging, Statistics Collector |
### Common Policy Attributes
```xml
<PolicyName enabled="true" continueOnError="false" async="false">
<!-- Policy configuration -->
</PolicyName>
```

## Message Quality of Service
### Exactly-Once Processing
Use when duplicates must be prevented:
1. **JMS Queues** - Transactional message storage
2. **Idempotent Process Call** - Duplicate detection via ID mapping
3. **Data Store** - Persistent message tracking
### Idempotent Pattern
```
Sender → [ID Mapping] → Check Duplicate → Process → [ID Mapping Complete]
↓ (duplicate)
Return Cached Response
```

## Edge Integration Cell
### Deployment Requirements
- Kubernetes cluster (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, RKE2)
- Minimum: 4 worker nodes, 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM each
- Storage: 100GB+ persistent volume
- Network: Ingress controller, DNS configuration
### Workflow
1. Activate Edge Integration Cell in Integration Suite
2. Prepare Kubernetes cluster (platform-specific)
3. Deploy Edge Lifecycle Management Bridge
4. Deploy Edge Integration Cell solution
5. Configure keystore synchronization
6. Deploy integration content

## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
| Issue | Resolution |
|-------|------------|
| Adapter connection failed | Check credentials, firewall, Cloud Connector |
| Message mapping error | Validate source/target structures, check XPath |
| Timeout | Increase adapter timeout, optimize mapping |
| Memory issues | Stream large payloads, reduce logging |
| Duplicate messages | Implement idempotent processing |
| Keystore sync failed | Verify certificate validity, check permissions |
### Monitoring Hierarchy
```
Integration Suite → Monitor → Integrations and APIs
├── Message Processing → All Integration Flows
├── Manage Integration Content → Deployed Artifacts
├── Manage Security → Keystores, Credentials
└── Manage Stores → Data Stores, Variables, Queues
```
---
## Limits Reference
| Resource | Limit |
|----------|-------|
| Integration flows per tenant | Varies by plan |
| JMS queues | 30 per tenant (standard) |
| Data stores | 100MB total storage |
| Message processing log retention | 30 days |
| Attachment size | 40MB |
| API proxies (APIM) | Based on service plan |
