How do we deal with it?

Intelligent Enterprise, Cloud operation (iPaaS/SaaS tenant),

Machine Learning, IoT (Internet of Things) and Hybrid integration

are just a few examples of the actual innovation topics.

All have one thing in common: Integration is the key competence for

its success!

Get ideas on how the Integration Framework 2.0 efficiently supports

you in these areas to reduce the complexity of integrating a

continuously increasing set of applications serving customers and

employees… let’s bring it to life!


… more applications and data move to the cloud. Application leaders face increasingly complex integration requirements:

In the same cloud, across different clouds and with on-premises/edges endpoints and others.

To support all these diversenetwork topologies, your integration strategy

is becoming crucial.


Quick facts: 2018 was a very successful year

• 37,000+ SAP Business One customers in 115+ countries are running the

Integration Framework with standard content delivered by SAP / individual content built by

partners and customers

• 800+ customers / 16,500+ users are running SAP Business One Intercompany

Integration Solution, a solution built on top of the Integration Framework

• 375+ large account customers with 2,300+ subsidiaries are using the Integration

Framework to integrate SAP ERP and SAP Business One

• 3,500+ customers / 11,000+ users are running the SAP Business One Mobile Solution

• 280+ customer / 6.000+ POS in 33 countries are running the Integration Framework to

integrate SAP Customer Checkout and SAP Business One

Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)

Docker containers

• Integration framework application

• Integration framework database

• DI Proxy (Windows)

Integration landscapeReverse proxy (Apache, optionally NGINX)

Tenants (iPaaS clients)


Multi-iPaaS Tenancy with Multi-SaaS Tenancy

• Strict partner framework isolation with small footprint

• Together with version 2 integration content:

Set up packages for many customers

Leveraging Docker

• Fast deployment and updates

• Automated configuration

• Better utilization of hardware resources

• Setting up development landscape within minutes

Scaling up with Docker Swarm

• Straightforward scaling of operations landscape

• Build-in fault tolerance

• Adding new resources within seconds

Benefits of running Integration Framework on Docker Swarm?

One Events


• Event sender does not fit together with cloud operations

• Requirement for end-to-end tracing of incoming SAP

Business One events in scenario processing

• Cloud environment for multiple iPaaS Tenants

• Multiple iPaaS clients share one SAP Business One

(SBO-COMMON)

• One iPaaS client works with multiple SAP Business One

systems (SBO-COMMON)

• Optimal event creation and retrieval:

Only events needed by scenarios

• Filter definitions no longer required

• Prioritization of incoming object types

• Planned availability: 2019

New Event Handler: for cloud operations


Mapping Tool: Structure mapping between any 2 XML structures/schemas

Generate, test, validate and easily

integrate XSLs in your scenario steps:

• Define simple mappings by clicking

elements you want to map to each other

• For more complex mappings:

• XPath and internal framework functions

• Define and use variables, use predefined

variables and JavaScript functions

• Make use of inbuilt support for

collaboration in mapping projects

• Supports XSD to XML generation

• Offers predefined XML structures for

SAP Business One data objects

In the menu: Choose Scenarios, open the package and select Mapping Tool

Business Process Management (BPMN): Going Beyond Workflow

• Goes beyond SAP Business One internal workflow

• BPMN spans across SAP Business One and other systems by orchestrating scenario steps built

in integration framework :

• adds timer-based/automated tasks

• considers human steps in the flow/model designer such as, for example work, confirmations and others

Modeling of a BPM process Monitoring of an active instance


When using BPMN, you can, for example, describe the following:

• What triggers a business process and what is the result of the business process?

• Which steps does the business process require?

• What are the dependencies between steps, what does the sequence flow of steps look

like?

• Is a decision required in the sequence flow, or must the process flow be split or merged

depending on a condition?

• Which information is relevant in the process?

• What are the interaction points with other systems or processes?

Business Process Management: Supporting business processes


• New way to integrate SAP Business One into everything meaningful

• Simple, new kind of abstraction level on top of

Integration Framework 2.0

• Several scenarios planned, all simple and basic

• Addresses typical requirements for fast digital integration in companies

that have multiple legal entities (such as sales and service unit)

• Some scenarios are only available to customers of the Intercompany

integration solution, others are free of charge. 30 days trial planned

• Planned availability 2019, incremental introduction planned to start Q3
