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 and 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 PO 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 as well as client certificate authentication.
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:
Full control of operations in one tool
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.
