What are HTTP & HTTPS adapters in SAP CPI?

Prasad Babu Koribilli Avatar

HTTP Adapter:

The HTTP adapter allows CPI to communicate with external HTTP endpoints.It supports various HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.It can handle both synchronous and asynchronous communication.Configuration includes defining endpoints, specifying headers, and configuring message transformation.It’s commonly used for integrating with web services, APIs, and other HTTP-based systems.

HTTPS Adapter:

The HTTPS adapter is similar to the HTTP adapter but adds an extra layer of security through SSL/TLS encryption.It’s used for secure communication over HTTPS protocols.Configuration involves setting up SSL certificates, defining endpoints, and configuring message handling.It ensures data integrity and confidentiality during transmission.It’s crucial for integrating with secure external systems, especially when handling sensitive data.Overall, both adapters are essential components in SAP CPI for integrating with external systems over HTTP and HTTPS protocols, enabling seamless communication while ensuring security and reliability.
