FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about the gRPC Adapter

What is the KaTe gRPC Adapter for SAP PO?

The KaTe gRPC Adapter enables the use and provision of gRPC services from SAP PO. It supports HTTP/2, Protocol Buffers, bidirectional streaming, and mTLS.

What is gRPC and why is it better than REST?

gRPC is a powerful RPC framework from Google that uses HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers. Compared to REST, it offers binary serialization (smaller, faster), streaming support, and strong typing.

Which streaming types are supported?

The adapter supports all four gRPC streaming types: Unary RPC, Server-side Streaming, Client-side Streaming, and bidirectional Streaming.

How does security work?

The adapter supports mTLS (Mutual TLS) for mutual authentication, API Key Authentication, and SSL/TLS encryption for all connections.

How are Proto files used in SAP PO?

The adapter automatically generates XML schemas and service interfaces from Proto files. This allows gRPC services to be used directly in SAP PO processes.

Does the adapter support synchronous and asynchronous calls?

Yes, the adapter supports synchronous (EO) and asynchronous (EOIO) service calls with Exactly-Once-In-Order guarantees.

Is the adapter compatible with SAP Integration Suite?

Yes, the gRPC adapter is available for SAP PO and the SAP Integration Suite. Existing gRPC interfaces can be migrated with minimal effort.

How can I test the adapter?

KaTe offers a free 30-day trial. Contact us via kate-group.de/kontakt/ to test the adapter in your environment.

Which gRPC services can be connected?

The adapter is compatible with all gRPC-compliant services: Google Cloud gRPC APIs, Kubernetes Microservices, AWS gRPC APIs, and On-Premise gRPC Services.

Does KaTe GmbH also offer gRPC consulting?

Yes, KaTe GmbH offers SAP-gRPC integration consulting – from Proto schema analysis to implementing your microservice integration strategy.
