You can use an OData adapter to implement a synchronous call to a remote HTTP API as an integration flow component. An OData adapter allows you to send and receive messages using the OData protocol. OData stands for Open Data Protocol and is a standard for exposing and consuming data over HTTP or HTTPS. You can use an OData adapter to communicate with OData services that support CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on resources. References: Integration Software | SAP Integration Suite, Modernize Integration with SAP Integration Suite | openSAP

To send messages over a SOAP adapter to an integration flow, you must use the POST method. The POST method is used to create or update a resource on the server using the SOAP message body as the input. The SOAP adapter supports both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 protocols and can handle both one-way and request-reply message exchange patterns. The SOAP adapter can be configured as a sender or a receiver channel in an integration flow. References: SOAP (SOAP 1.x) Adapter | SAP Help Portal, SOAP Sender Adapter: Example Integration Flow | SAP Help Portal

To save a customer ID in a data store, you can use the WRITE operation. The WRITE operation allows you to store a value in a data store entry with a specified key. You can use the WRITE operation to create or update a data store entry with a customer ID as the key and a value as the payload. References:  Modernize Integration with SAP Integration Suite | openSAP

Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for designing web services that are based on the stateless exchange of resources. REST uses uniform and predefined methods, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, to manipulate resources identified by URIs. REST also supports different formats for data representation, such as XML, JSON, or plain text. References: Integration Software | SAP Integration Suite, Modernize Integration with SAP Integration Suite | openSAP

The messaging model of the Apache Camel Data Model consists of three parts: header, body, and attachment. The header contains information related to the message, such as addressing, routing, or metadata. The body contains the payload or the content of the message. The attachment contains optional data that can be attached to the message, such as files or images. The Apache Camel Data Model is used by SAP Integration Suite to process messages of any format using various components and data formats. References: The Camel Data Model in a Nutshell | SAP Help Portal, Data Formats :: Apache Camel

Besides in SAP API Management, you can find policy templates in SAP API Business Accelerator Hub- Explore Categories ?? APIs. Policy templates are reusable sets of policies that can be applied to APIs to define their behavior and security. In SAP API Business Accelerator Hub, you can explore various categories of APIs that are pre-packaged with policy templates. For example, you can find APIs for sales order processing, customer master data management, product catalog management, and so on. Each API category has a set of policy templates that are suitable for its use case. References: SAP API Business Accelerator Hub | SAP Help Portal, Explore Categories | SAP Help Portal

To access the payload in a Groovy script, you must use the message object and call the getBody() method on it. The message object represents the current message that is being processed in the integration flow. It has methods to get and set the message body, headers, properties, and attachments. The getBody() method returns the message body as an object of the specified type, such as java.lang.String, java.io.InputStream, or org.w3c.dom.Document. References: General Scripting Guidelines | SAP Help Portal, Message | SAP Help Portal

After creating an API in the API management capability within SAP Integration Suite using Edit in API Designer, the next step to consolidate the resources is to generate the server stubs. Server stubs are code snippets that implement the API operations on a server-side application. They can be generated in different languages and frameworks, such as Java, Node.js, Python, or Spring Boot. Generating server stubs can help you to quickly prototype and test your API functionality without writing much code. References: Create an API Using the API Designer | SAP Help Portal, Generate Server Stubs | SAP Tutorials

OData uses HTTP, AtomPub, and JSON as its core functionalities. OData is an open protocol that allows the creation and consumption of queryable and interoperable RESTful APIs in a simple and standard way. OData builds on HTTP as the application protocol for transferring data between clients and servers. OData uses AtomPub as one of the formats for representing data feeds and entries in XML. OData also uses JSON as another format for representing data feeds and entries in a lightweight and human-readable way. References: Introducing OData - SAP Learning, OData Overview | OData - The Best Way to REST

You can find more information about APIs, policies, and integrations in the SAP Business Accelerator Hub. The SAP Business Accelerator Hub is a central place where you can discover, explore, and consume pre-built integrations, APIs, and best practices for various business scenarios and industries. References: Integration Software | SAP Integration Suite, Modernize Integration with SAP Integration Suite | openSAP

A Content Modifier is a step in an integration flow that allows you to modify the message header or body using expressions or constants. You can use a Content Modifier to delete namespaces from a message by using expressions that remove the namespace declarations or prefixes from the XML elements or attributes. For example, you can use the expression replace($body,"xmlns:ns[0-9]+=\"[^\"]+\"","") to remove all namespace declarations from the message body. An XSLT mapping is a step in an integration flow that allows you to transform the message body using an XSLT stylesheet. You can use an XSLT mapping to delete namespaces from a message by using XSLT instructions that strip or exclude the namespace information from the output XML document. For example, you can use the instruction  to exclude all namespace prefixes from the output document. References: Content Modifier | SAP Help Portal, XSLT Mapping | SAP Help Portal

To connect an SAP backend system through the Cloud Connector with an API provider, you must use the on-premise connection type. The Cloud Connector acts as a link between SAP Integration Suite and on-premise systems, enabling secure and controlled access to the backend resources. The on-premise connection type allows you to specify the internal host and port of the backend system, as well as the virtual host and port that will be exposed to SAP Integration Suite. You can also define access control rules and protocols for the on-premise connection. References: Part 2: Connect to on-premise APIs from SAP Cloud Platform API Management Cloud Foundry Environment | SAP Blogs, How to configure SAP Cloud Connector & Create API using SCP API Management | SAP Blogs

The API Management capability within SAP Integration Suite supports the following message protocols: SOAP, REST, and Data. SOAP is a protocol for exchanging structured XML messages between web services. REST is an architectural style for designing web services that use HTTP methods and formats. Data is a protocol for sending and receiving binary or text data over HTTP or HTTPS. References: Integration Software | SAP Integration Suite, Modernize Integration with SAP Integration Suite | openSAP

To find out which entity sets are available in the OData V2.0 interface, you must retrieve the metadata document from the interface. The metadata document is an XML document that describes the data model of the OData service, including the entity types, entity sets, associations, functions, and actions. The metadata document can be accessed by appending $metadata to the service root URL of the OData service. For example, if the service root URL is https://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/, then the metadata document URL is https://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/$metadata. The metadata document can be used to discover the structure and capabilities of the OData service and to generate client code or proxies. References: Overview (OData Version 2.0) | OData - The Best Way to REST, OData API v2 Reference | SAP Help Portal
