Let's start by understanding each of the elements that we will mention and that were part of the technical solution proposed to our client: Azure, SFTP, CPI and BTP.<\/p>

What is Microsoft Azure?:<\/strong>\u00a0Microsoft Azure (formerly Windows Azure and Azure Services Platform) is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft to build, test, deploy, and manage applications and services using its data centers.<\/p>

What is SFTP?:<\/strong>\u00a0SFTP is short for Secure File Transfer Protocol. This protocol allows you to transfer encrypted data between your local computer and the web space.<\/p>

What is CPI?:\u00a0<\/strong>SAP Cloud Platform Integration is the main tool (middleware) that allows integration between different Cloud and OnPremise platforms. It is the service that will allow us to connect all the systems, carry out mappings, sign messages, encrypt, decrypt, perform integration flows.<\/p>

And finally, what is BTP?:<\/strong>\u00a0SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) brings together intelligent business applications with functionality for database and data management, analytics, integration, and extension into a single platform for cloud and hybrid environments, including hundreds of preconfigured application integrations from SAP and third parties.<\/p>

Now, why did our client request an integration with these technologies?<\/p>

Today more than ever, being able to make decisions in real time and respond to the challenges that arise is fundamental and necessary for organizations.
Es por esto que se debe permitir poder acceder desde cualquier lugar, en cualquier momento y asegurar la seguridad de la informaci\u00f3n que estamos consultando.<\/p>

However, being able to count on the necessary technologies that allow this is no less of a challenge. After evaluating different options and scenarios, we proposed to our client to be able to integrate Microsoft Azure with their SAP system, considering a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) using SAP Cloud Platform Integration (SAP CPI) as integration technology and taking advantage of the also offered by SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).<\/p>

Now we will tell you in a general way, the technical part of what we do:<\/p>

We developed two SAP CPI iFlows to expose an Azure SFTP as-a-service repository, through an API or service that allows synchronous writing and reading within it, from any SAP or non-SAP application that can make REST-type requests. .\u00a0\u00bfC\u00f3mo lo hicimos?<\/strong>\u00a0aqu\u00ed te contamos los pasos:<\/p>
