For initial data extraction, the data volumn is big especially for....

在博客中使用 CDI 从 SAP S/4HANA Cloud中提取和集成数据Venu Krishna Murthy，用CDI工具进行数据集成的方法已经讲清楚了。 但是有的客户没有购买CDI，他们只购买了CPI，而且他们也有要求做S/4 hana cloud的数据集成，请问CPI可以做吗？通过这个博客，我想对 CPI 做一些探索。 注意：对于数据集成，我推荐使用SAP Data Intelligence或 SDI 或 BW ETL。但相比使用业务 Odata API 与 S/4 Hana Cloud 进行数据集成的方法，我推荐使用 CDI Api(SAP_COM_0531) 和 CPI 来做数据集成。 在博客 Part I 中，我将展示在 S/4 Hana Cloud 中使用 postman 测试 CDI Api(SAP_COM_0531) 的步骤，通信安排为 SAP_COM_0531。   先决条件： 1、客户的 S/4 Hana Cloud 已经上线了 2、你已经安装了POSTMAN。 步骤：....

在第一部分，我已经解释了如何在以数据集成为目标的 S/4 Hana Cloud 中测试 CDI API。在第二部分中，我将解释如何在 CPI 中使用 Iflow 实现初始数据提取和增量数据提取。 对于初始数据提取，数据量很大，尤其是对于销售订单、采购订单等业务对象。如果返回的body nextLink 字段中出现skipToken，则意味着iflow 需要继续读取delta token 和skipToken 的数据；否则表示初始数据已经读完了， iflow 可以停止从 S/4 Hana Cloud 读取数据。 以下是 init 数据提取 iflow 的主屏幕截图：         以下是IFLOW运行后的屏幕截图。此初始数据提取仅针对订阅运行一次，但它将循环运行一直到基于 skipToken 的初始数据提取中没有更多数据为止。   对于增量数据提取，iflow 需要先读取订阅以获取CurrentDeltaLink，然后使用 CurrentDeltaLink 进行增量数据提取。以下是增量数据提取 iflow 的屏幕截图，它由部署后的计时器触发。       部署此 iflow 后，它将使用 Timer 中定义的后台作业从 S/4 Hana Cloud 提取增量数据。

In many situations, a scenario may span multiple systems or applications.
