Configuring SAP PO REST Adapters and API Integration

Modern enterprise integration relies heavily on REST APIs and lightweight data formats like JSON, making them essential skills for SAP integration professionals. Transitioning from traditional XML-based interfaces to RESTful architectures requires a solid grasp of both API design and adapter configuration. This written course guides you through the foundational concepts of APIs, JSON syntax, and REST principles before diving into step-by-step configuration. You will gain the confidence to design, configure, and troubleshoot end-to-end integration scenarios using SAP Process Orchestration (PO). What you'll learn: - Understand the core differences between XML, JSON, traditional web services, and modern RESTful APIs. - Write and validate standard JSON structures, including objects, arrays, and nested data types. - Configure Sender REST Adapters to expose internal SAP services as secure REST APIs. - Set up Receiver REST Adapters to consume external REST APIs and handle response payloads. - Apply modern API security practices, including token-based authentication and OAuth 2.0, within adapter settings. - Implement User-Defined Functions (UDFs) to call REST APIs dynamically during message mapping. The course starts with essential terminology and structural foundations of JSON and REST before moving into detailed, step-by-step configuration walkthroughs for both sender and receiver scenarios. You will progress from theoretical concepts to practical, real-world integration patterns. This course is designed for beginners to SAP integration, application developers, and functional consultants looking to expand their technical integration skills. No prior experience with REST adapters or JSON is required. Start reading today to build reliable, modern integrations in your SAP landscape.
