Prerequisites

Before setting up the SAP integration, ensure the following requirements are met.

Camunda setup

• OData and RFC connectors: 8.6+
• BTP Plugin: 8.6+
• Advanced Event Mesh integration: 8.6+

Compatible with both SaaS and Self-Managed deployments:

• SaaS: Use hybrid connectors to securely connect to SAP systems.
• Self-Managed: Ensure outbound network connectivity from your environment to SAP BTP.

SAP setup

You need an SAP BTP subaccount with these services enabled:

• Cloud Foundry Runtime
• Destination Service (Free) – for system and service connectivity
• Connectivity Service (Free) – required for on-premises SAP S/4HANA or ECC
• SAP Cloud Connector – bridges on-premises systems with BTP

Additional services may be required depending on your use case:

• SAP Advanced Event Mesh (AEM) – enables event-driven integration between Camunda and SAP.

Required for the BTP Plugin:

• PostgreSQL on SAP BTP (Hyperscaler Option)

Authentication and connectivity

• An SAP technical user with sufficient authorizations for the relevant S/4HANA or ECC systems
• Authorization and Trust Management Service (Free) – to manage identity and access across integration modules
• Secure connectivity between Camunda and SAP, configured either:
  • Through SAP Cloud Connector for on-premises systems
  • Or directly via SAP BTP services for cloud-hosted systems

Tooling

• CSAP CLI: A self-contained binary that runs on any platform without installation.
  Copy the binary to the target machine and execute it directly.
