How to Configure the HTTP Protocol?

1. Overview

The SKYVVA SAP BTP Integration Suite Adapter supports the HTTP protocol for communication between Salesforce and SAP BTP Integration Suite.

When HTTP is selected as the protocol, the adapter supports:

• V3 Payload Format
• SAP-PO Payload Format

• Interface API V2
• Interface API V3

In addition, HTTP supports both JSON and XML for the request and response message formats.

2. HTTP Protocol

When HTTP is selected in the SKYVVA SAP BTP Integration Suite Adapter, the following payload formats are available:

1. V3 Payload Format
2. SAP-PO Payload Format

2.1 HTTP Payload Format Support

Testing Result: The HTTP protocol supports V3 Payload Format and SAP-PO Payload Format with both Interface API V2 and Interface API V3. SFDC2SAPI Payload Format is not supported with HTTP.

3. HTTP Request Format

The HTTP protocol supports the following request message formats:

• JSON
• XML

3.1 JSON Request

When the request format is configured as JSON, the adapter sends the HTTP request body in JSON format.

Example:

{
  "Account": {
    "BillingCity": "Phnom Penh",
    "BillingCountry": "Cambodia",
    "Name": "Coca"
  }
}

3.2 XML Request

When the request format is configured as XML, the adapter sends the HTTP request body in XML format.

Example:

<Account>
    <BillingCity>Phnom Penh</BillingCity>
    <BillingCountry>Cambodia</BillingCountry>
    <Name>Coca</Name>
</Account>
