The Problem

CPI Monitoring Without a Central Tool Is Flying Blind

As SAP Integration Suite landscapes grow, standard tools for CPI Monitoring quickly reach their limits. The result: fragmented visibility, reactive firefighting and frustrated teams.

Fragmented Visibility

Multiple CPI tenants and EIC instances, but no shared dashboard. Constantly switching between systems wastes time and increases error risk.

Time-Consuming Error Analysis

Without cross-system search, finding issues is like finding a needle in a haystack. Developers spend hours in logs instead of solving problems.

Reactive Firefighting

Errors are often discovered only when the business calls. Proactive alerting is missing – IT always reacts after the fact.

Lack of KPIs & Reports

Meaningful management reports require tedious manual work. An automated overview of SLAs and performance is missing.

Features

Confluent Parallel Consumer Adapter for SAP Integration Suite

Apache Kafka is a popular open source project for processing event-driven data streams based on a transaction log.

KaTe Confluent parallel consumer adapter extends the existing bullet proof Kafka Adapter for high throughput optimized scenarios on SAP integration suite or Edge integration cell (EIC).

The adapter inherits all functions of the KaTe Kafka adapter and complements it with parallel processing capabilities for high throughput.

Basic functions

The adapter allows you to publish Iflow messages as Kafka records and subscribe Kafka records as Iflow messages.

Kafka key, headers and data sections are translated into iflow message parts and vice versa. Topic & Partitions and technical reliability settings (Ack Mode/Consumer commits) are customizable per use case.

Message processing is observable and debuggable on channel & message log level without third party tooling fully integrated into SAP Cloud integration functionality.

Work secure with company & compliance standards

Our product supports all  commonly used security standards PLAIN, PLAIN_SASL, SASL_SSL, SASL-Plain/SASL-SCRAM, OAuth2 as well as client certificate authentication for broker and schema registry connections.

Support for high performance, resilience & flow control

The adapter allows parallelization on key level instead of only partition level which enables 10-500x higher throughput on single or even more on batched records without loosing functional order of related records.

Stay in charge what you want to process of a topic and how you will put load on your connected backends.

The product supports different methods to allow, filter and control message throughput on topics through:

  • Filtering: Kafka records can be filtered based on record headers, keys and data content before triggering an integration
  • Batching: A set of n Kafka records can be batched as single iflow message to optimize throughput
  • Parallelization can be adjusted with different modes (no order, order on key level) as well as how many threads process the records in parallel.

Full control of operations in one tool

  • Process records from start or end of stream or from any arbitrary position of the stream.
  • Process and re-process records
  • Deduplicate of necessary by offset or functional headers
  • Group names are feely definable and not set by us as vendor

Automated or manual error resolution

One common „challenge“ with ordered streaming systems like Kafka is, if errors occur, this could bring a total halt to processing if order is important. Our product allows you a manual as well as automated way to handle by e.g. forwarding it to an error destination or  document & ignore certain cases.

Serialization errors, data transformations errors or any down stream processing error (processing through an iflow).

Avro, Protocol Buffers, Json & schema registries

Our product supports typical binary data formats like Avro and Protobuf with Kafka typical optimizations like a schema registry.

The adapter can translate Avro and Protocol Buffers to XML and vice versa. Necessary translations of Avro/Protobuf schemas are generated with an included schema generation tool.

Transformation from binary (Avro/Protocol Buffers) and Json to XML and vice versa is supported

SAP roadmap compatible

Our Kafka Adapter is available for SAP Process Orchestration & Integration Suite or EIC (Edge integration cell).

This allows you to just import any developed interface and it will work without migration efforts, adjustments, refactoring or anything which is often the case with other adapters or vendors (including SAP).

Choose your own timing and roadmap for a possible migration plan. Your investment in integrations on SAP PO is easily transferable on Integration suite without unknown risks / commercial questions.

Difference to standard adapter for Cloud integration

  • 10-500x higher throughput as Standard adapter as parallelization and batching can be used on functional levels instead of only glued to partitions.
  • Standard adapter can’t use arbitrary positions or group names in stream for processing / reprocessing which is a very important feature to actually operate with Kafka.
  • Our product supports all data formats (Avro, Protocol buffers and schema registries, automated schema generation)
  • Our adapter allows batching into one iflow execution for hight throughput unlike the standard
  • The KaTe Parallel Consumer adapter allows manual as well as automated error resolution which is not the case in the standard version.
  • Filtering & Deduplication allows control to select exactly what you need on hight troughput topics unlike the standard
  • With the standard adapter there are no simple mechanisms to quickly understand consumer lag or record search in your message processing log. It must be done with third party tools (that might be hard to access for a SAP integration team) or manual developments.

The Confluent Parallel Consumer Adapter for SAP Integration Suite is a powerful extension of the KaTe Kafka adapter to connect SAP systems with Apache Kafka with extreme high throughput requirements. Kafka and SAP can be connected– both on-premises and in the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). It enables seamless processing of event-driven data streams and bi-directional message exchange between SAP Cloud Integration Iflows and Kafka Topics at unprecedented scale. As the successor of the Kafka Adapter for SAP Process Orchestration, it provides 1:1 compatability migrating existing SAP-Kafka integration from PO.

The adapter allows you to publish SAP Cloud Integration Iflow messages as Kafka records and subscribe to Kafka records as Iflow messages. Kafka keys, headers, and data are translated into Iflow messages and vice versa.

Different than typical Kafka consumers in order processing capabilities of the adapter are not limited to partitions but can be scaled up to record key level or even no ordering can be used which enables extreme high througput.


Aside it fully supports popular data formats like Avro, Protocol Buffers, and JSON, including Schema Registry integration and automatic schema generation for seamless conversion to and from XML. Topics, partitions, and reliability settings (e.g., acknowledgement mode, consumer commits) are highly configurable. Additionally, message processing is fully integrated into SAP Cloud Integration, making it fully traceable and debuggable without third-party tools.

The Confluent Parallel Consumer Adapter for SAP Integration Suite complies with modern Kafka security standards, including PLAIN, PLAIN_SASL, SASL_SSL, SASL-Plain/SASL-SCRAM, OAuth2 and client certificate authentication. This ensures secure data transmission aligned with corporate security policies.

The adapter is designed for high-performance streaming, offering batch processing, message filtering, and massive parallelization on record key level. Messages can be filtered based on headers, keys, or data content and grouped into optimized batches to improve throughput.

Parallel processing options on key level or even with no order enable extreme hight throughput (10.x-500x) compared to standard Kafka consumers.

For reliable message processing, the adapter provides both automated and manual error handling. Common issues like serialization errors, data transformation errors, or Iflow processing errors can be forwarded to an error target or deduplicated, ensuring uninterrupted data flows.

Unlike the SAP standard Kafka adapter, the KaTe Kafka Adapter offers:

  • Extreme high throughput 10-500x compared to the SAP Standard Kafka adapter by parallelization options.

  • Processing from any stream position with custom group names

  • Full support for Avro, Protocol Buffers, JSON, and Schema Registries with automatic schema generation

The history of MQTT

The MQTT protocol has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. MQTT was programmed in 1999 by Andy Stanford-Clark (IBM) and Arlen Nipper (Cirrus Link) for monitoring oil and gas pipelines. Transmitting data via satellite has always been very costly and therefore a smart solution was sought. The Message Queue Telemetry Transport, or MQTT, protocol which was developed in this manner fulfilled the required characteristics. Following this project, MQTT was used and further developed as a proprietary protocol at IBM in a variety of projects. In 2010, the MQTT specification was released to the public and since then a large infrastructure has developed around it.

RESTful Adapter for
SAP Integration Suite

Efficient Integration and Development of REST APIs with SAP Integration Suite and the Open API Standard

The KaTe RESTful Adapter significantly reduces development times and operational costs when creating or utilizing REST APIs based on the Open API Standard with SAP Integration Suite.

The RESTful Adapter for SAP Integration Suite is the logical successor of our RESTful adapter for SAP Process Orchestration. Any API built on PO is simply runnable on BTP without big migration efforts.

Development Benefits:
  • Quick and Efficient: The solution significantly reduces development effort for building & translating type safe data structures from JSON to XML and vice versa, routing of calls, enforcement of http status codes down to a few simple click through steps.
  • Re-use developments: Allows re-use of existing ESR data types and interfaces for Open APIs with a few clicks.

  • Works with established Toolset: Use established frameworks that are here to stay in S4 and BTP with minimal effort. ABAP Classes (ABAP Proxies) can simply get generated from Open API definitions, IDOCs/RFCs or other interfaces can be re-used as Open API with a few clicks

  • Easy Migration to BTP: Transitioning of Open APIs built by this approach are 1:1 migratable from SAP Process Orchestration to SAP Integration Suite (±1-2 minutes per API).

  • State-of-the-Art API Standards: Supports OpenAPI 3.x and Swagger 2.0 for comprehensive API descriptions in sender and receiver channels.

  • Operational API Visibility: All API Operations and Status are visible in SAP Integration Suite Monitor through indexing of key/values without overhead.

Security Benefits:
  • Protection Against Unauthorized Access: Blocks non-compliant API calls.
  • Flexible API Authorization: Supports to integrate own Identity management solutions via JWT/OpenID/Oauth2 and established standards like NTLM, custom tokens.
  • Cloud & On Premise: Use OAuth token endpoints through SAP Cloud Connector connections or public. Oauth2 calls are debatable via trace and not a black box.
Business Benefits:
  • Cost Savings: Reduces development costs by shortening development times and utilizing existing skills.
  • Sustainable Investments: Reuse ESR content as Open APIs to preserve existing investments.
  • No Complex Custom Development: Avoids time-consuming custom programming.
  • Free trial: Test before you buy with a free trial for Proof of Concepts.
Use Cases:

API-First Development: Bridging Old and New Worlds

Software development is increasingly shifting to mobile platforms, hyperscalers, or container environments, all of which leverage the Open API Standard for API management, security (JWT, OAuth2), and automation.

The KaTe RESTful Adapter facilitates seamless SAP integration with API-first strategies from non-SAP ecosystems—whether on SAP BTP, hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, or GCP, or in containerized development environments.

Open APIs in regulated industries

Regulated industries such as telecommunications (TMF), banking (Open Banking), or utilities (market data exchange) require standardized Open APIs for data exchange. Our approach significantly reduces the development and operational costs of such APIs while leveraging existing developer skills and requiring minimal investment.

The KaTe RESTful Adapter maximizes the efficiency and security of your API integrations, protects existing investments, and builds seamless bridges between SAP and modern API standards. With this future-proof solution, you are well-equipped to meet the increasing demands of integrating advanced technologies and driving your digital transformation forward—enhancing your SAP landscape to its full potential

Use OData within established architectures

SAP has strongly committed to OData, which can be described via Open API definitions. However, challenges often arise in hybrid environments or API management solutions:

  • SAP Specifics: Clients need to manage XCSRF tokens or deal with SAP-specific attributes in OData definitions.
  • Internal Links: API management solutions may return responses with internal links, creating security risks and hindering OData clients from working directly.

The KaTe RESTful Adapter resolves these issues efficiently: Links are automatically rewritten to frontend URLs, and XCSRF tokens are handled automatically.

Kafka Adapter for SAP Integration Suite

Apache Kafka is a popular open source project for processing event-driven data streams based on a transaction log.

Our adapter enables you to connect your SAP system landscape to Kafka on Premise or on SAP BTP in a simple an real world use case proven way. The product is the logical successor of our Kafka adapter for SAP Process Orchestration.

Basic functions

The adapter allows you to publish Iflow messages as Kafka records and subscribe Kafka records as Iflow messages.

Kafka key, headers and data sections are translated into iflow message parts and vice versa. Topic & Partitions and technical reliability settings (Ack Mode/Consumer commits) are customizable per use case.

Message processing is observable and debuggable on channel & message log level without third party tooling fully integrated into SAP Cloud integration functionality.

Work secure with company & compliance standards

Our product supports all  commonly used security standards PLAIN, PLAIN_SASL, SASL_SSL, SASL-Plain/SASL-SCRAM, OAuth2 as well as client certificate authentication for broker and schema registry connections.

Support for hight perfomance, resilience & flow control

Stay in charge what you want to process of a topic and how you will put load on your connected backends.

The product supports different methods to allow, filter and control message throughput on topics through:

  • Filtering: Kafka records can be filtered based on record headers, keys and data content before triggering an integration
  • Batching: A set of n Kafka records can be batched as single iflow message to optimize throughput
  • Polling & Record count/ time unit can be adjusted to control the exact amount of messages per period of time

Full control of operations in one tool

  • Process records from start or end of stream or from any arbitrary position of the stream.
  • Process and re-process records
  • Deduplicate of necessary by offset or functional headers
  • Group names are feely definable and not set by us as vendor

Automated or manual error resolution

One common „challenge“ with ordered streaming systems like Kafka is, if errors occur, this could bring a total halt to processing if order is important. Our product allows you a manual as well as automated way to handle by e.g. forwarding it to an error destination or  document & ignore certain cases.

Serialization errors, data transformations errors or any down stream processing error (processing through an iflow).

Avro, Protocol Buffers, Json & schema registries

Our product supports typical binary data formats like Avro and Protobuf with Kafka typical optimizations like a schema registry.

The adapter can translate Avro and Protocol Buffers to XML and vice versa. Necessary translations of Avro/Protobuf schemas are generated with an included schema generation tool.

Transformation from binary (Avro/Protocol Buffers) and Json to XML and vice versa is supported

SAP roadmap compatible

Our Kafka Adapter is available for SAP Process Orchestration & Integration Suite.

This allows you to just import any developed interface and it will work without migration efforts, adjustments, refactoring or anything which is often the case with other adapters or vendors (including SAP).

Choose your own timing and roadmap for a possible migration plan. Your investment in integrations on SAP PO is easily transferable on Integration suite without unknown risks / commercial questions. 

Difference to standard adapter for Cloud integration

  • Standard adapter can’t use arbitrary positions or group names in stream for processing / reprocessing which is a very important feature to actually operate with Kafka.
  • Our product supports all data formats (Avro, Protocol buffers and schema registries, automated schema generation)
  • Our adapter allows batching into one iflow execution for hight throughput unlike the standard
  • The KaTe Kafka adapter allows manual as well as automated error resolution which is not the case in the standard version.
  • Filtering & Deduplication allows control to select exactly what you need on hight troughput topics unlike the standard
  • With the standard adapter there are no simple mechanisms to quickly understand consumer lag or record search in your message processing log. It must be done with third party tools (that might be hard to access for a SAP integration team) or manual developments.
