QUICK ANSWER

SAP BTP CPI (Cloud Platform Integration) is SAP’s cloud tool for connecting business systems. Today SAP calls it Cloud Integration, and it is part of SAP Integration Suite on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). It moves data from one system to another and changes the data format on the way. SAP BTP CPI training teaches you to build integration flows (iFlows), use adapters and mappings, and monitor messages. It also prepares you for the C_CPI exam, a 3-hour hands-on assessment with a 90% pass score.

The basics

What is SAP BTP CPI? Explained simply

Think of SAP BTP CPI as a translator at a busy station. One system speaks one language, and another system speaks a different one. CPI listens to the first system, changes the message into the right language, and passes it to the second system. As a result, both systems understand each other.

1. A message arrivesFor example, a new sales order leaves SAP S/4HANA.

2. CPI changes itCPI maps the fields and turns XML into JSON.

3. It reaches the targetThe order lands safely in a cloud or partner app.

The path a message takes is called an integration flow, or iFlow. An SAP CPI developer designs these iFlows, tests them and watches them run.

The opportunity

Why learn SAP BTP CPI now?

Many companies still run an older SAP tool called SAP PI/PO for integration. SAP has set an end date for its main support. So these companies are moving their interfaces to SAP Integration Suite, and they need people who know Cloud Integration.

The big picture

Where CPI sits in SAP Integration Suite

SAP Integration Suite is a box of integration tools on SAP BTP. Cloud Integration (CPI) is the main one, but a good integration developer knows the others too. Tap each tool to see what it does.

Certification

The C_CPI certification, explained simply

C_CPI is SAP’s certification for integration developers. It is not a long multiple-choice test anymore. Instead, you log in to a real system and complete one task. Because the pass mark is very high, careful hands-on practice matters most.

FAQs

Questions about SAP BTP CPI training

SAP BTP CPI (Cloud Platform Integration) is SAP’s cloud service for connecting systems. SAP now calls it Cloud Integration, and it is part of SAP Integration Suite on SAP Business Technology Platform. It moves data between systems and changes its format on the way.

Not exactly. SAP Integration Suite is the full set of integration tools. Cloud Integration (CPI) is one part of it. The suite also includes API Management, Event Mesh, Integration Advisor and Open Connectors.

An iFlow, or integration flow, is the path a message follows in SAP CPI. It starts at a sender system, goes through steps such as mapping and routing, and ends at a receiver system.

Yes. SAP PI/PO mainstream maintenance ends on 31 December 2027, so many companies are moving their interfaces to SAP Integration Suite. That creates steady demand for people who can build and support CPI integrations.

You don’t need deep coding to start. Most iFlow work uses visual tools. Basic knowledge of XML, JSON and simple scripting helps, and you learn Groovy basics in the course.

The SAP Certified – Integration Developer (C_CPI) exam is a 3-hour, system-based assessment with one hands-on activity. You need 90% to pass.

SAP PI/PO runs on a company’s own servers. SAP CPI runs in the cloud on SAP BTP and gets regular updates from SAP. Many integration skills, such as mapping and adapters, carry over from PI/PO to CPI.

You learn common adapters such as HTTP, OData, SOAP, IDoc and SFTP. These let SAP CPI connect to SAP systems, cloud apps and file servers.

It depends on your background. People with SAP PI/PO or API experience learn faster. Freshers need more practice time. Ask our counsellor for the current course duration and batch dates.

Yes. Atos offers classroom and live online batches, with weekday and weekend options. Call 1800 572 5840 or send an enquiry for details and fees.
