C_CPE_2409 Exam Dumps - SAP Certified Associate Questions and Answers

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation

To call on-premise systems (e.g., ECC, on-prem S/4HANA, custom OData services), CAP requires:

D – Cloud Connector

The Cloud Connector creates asecure tunnelbetween SAP BTP and the on-prem network.

It maps internal systems and resources (paths, ports) to virtual on-demand resources that BTP can access.

Without Cloud Connector, BTP services cannot reach the on-prem landscape.

B – Destination Service

CAP applications rely onDestinationsto configure:

Hostnames and URLs

Proxy types (onPremise)

Authentication mechanisms

SAP Cloud Connector location IDs

System routing metadata

Outbound CAP service calls use destination configuration to find the on-premise endpoint.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A – API Management:

Useful for external API governance but not mandatory for on-premise connectivity.

C – Event Mesh:

Used for event-driven communication, not direct connectivity to legacy/on-prem services.

Side-by-side extensions run on SAP BTP, which is:

A – Distributed

BTP is a distributed cloud platform across:

Multiple data centers

Multiple hyperscalers

Multiple regions

Workloads run across distributed nodes and services.

B – Autonomous

Extensions operateindependentlyfrom SAP S/4HANA Cloud core.

They are:

Independently deployable

Independently versioned

Not impacted by S/4HANA upgrades

Running in isolated environments

Why C and D Are Incorrect:

C – Centralized:

Side-by-side extensibility isnotcentralized; it is explicitly distributed.

D – Heterogenic:

Extensions can run in heterogenous landscapes, but this is not the defining characteristic recognized in SAP extensibility models.

CAP natively supports consumption of external services using:

C – OData

CAP provides:

OData service proxies

EDMX import

Automatic CDS generation

OData V2/V4 support

Query transformation & protocol handling

OData is the primary protocol for SAP S/4HANA APIs.

D – REST

CAP supports:

OpenAPI import

REST clients via CAP service proxies

Typed request/response handling

Destination-based outbound REST calls

Why the Others Are Incorrect:

A – WebSockets:

CAP does not provide native WebSocket consumption APIs.

B – SOAP:

SOAP is not supported directly; integrations require external libraries or wrappers.

SAP BTP Kyma runtime is amanaged Kubernetes environment, meaning SAP handles infrastructure responsibilities so customers can focus on business logic instead of cluster administration.

Why D is Correct:

Kyma runtime eliminates the need for:

Installing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters

Managing upgrades of Kubernetes versions

Applying security patches

Managing control-plane components (scheduler, etcd, API server)

Monitoring node health or node autoscaling

SAP manages infrastructure, high availability, monitoring, and cluster lifecycle.

Developers simply deploy workloads via Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, or Kyma modules.

Why the Others Are Incorrect:

A – Unlimited nodes

Kyma still has capacity limits defined by the subaccount's resource plan.

B – Machine learning pipelines

Kyma is not an ML platform; SAP AI Core or data science tools handle ML workloads.

C – Automatic migration of workloads

Migration between clusters or hyperscalers isnot automatic; deployments must be recreated or migrated manually.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation

SAP BTP Cloud Foundry runtime is aPlatform-as-a-Service (PaaS)that provides:

Fully managed multi-language runtimes (Node.js, Java, Python, Go)

Buildpacks to build container images

Autoscaling and health management

Route-based load balancing

Secure isolation of application environments

Service binding for XSUAA, Destinations, HANA Cloud, etc.

Its primary purpose is to runcloud-native, 12-factor applications.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A:S/4 configuration is done via SAP GUI/Fiori, not Cloud Foundry.

C:HANA databases are managed through SAP HANA Cloud administration tools, not Cloud Foundry.

D:Integrations use SAP Integration Suite or API Management, not Cloud Foundry runtime.

In OData, theservice metadata document(typically accessed via the $metadata endpoint) is theformal description of the OData service. It is defined using the Conceptual Schema Definition Language (CSDL / EDMX).

The metadata document:

Describesentity types, complex types, and their properties(types).

Definesentity sets and singletons(sets).

Includes ODatafunctions and actions, together with parameters and return types.

Describes therelationships and navigation propertiesamong entities.

This matches optionD:“To describe the types, sets, functions, and actions.”

OptionB(“list the available entity sets, functions, and singletons”) is incomplete, since the document also defines types and relationships.

Why the others are incorrect:

A – API’s security requirements:Security is handled elsewhere (OAuth/XSUAA, configuration, API gateways), not in the OData metadata document.

C – Human-readable description:While a developer can read the XML, the primary intent is amachine-readableformal model for tools and clients.

cds build performs build-time steps such as:

Generating required artifacts (e.g., SQL, EDMX, JSON)

Compiling CDS models into runtime formats

Preparing modules for deployment artifacts (e.g., for MTA)

This aligns with C – compile the application.

Incorrect options:

A: Deployment is done via cf push or mta deployment.

B: Tests run via npm test or cds test.

D: Docker image creation is external (e.g., Docker CLI, buildpacks).

In Cloud Foundry, when you deploy an application with cf push (without a pre-built container image), the platform runs astaging phase. During staging:

Abuildpackinspects the application, detects the runtime (for example, Node.js, Java, Python), anddownloads required dependencies.

It then produces adroplet, which is the runnable artifact containing the application and its runtime environment. This droplet is conceptually similar to acontainer imagethat is later executed by the platform.

Therefore, the role of the buildpack is best summarized as:

It builds the runtime image for applications during staging.

This matches optionD – It builds a container image for applications during staging.

Why the others are incorrect:

A – Binds services to applications:Service binding is managed by the Cloud Foundry platform (cf bind-service and environment variables), not by buildpacks.

B – User roles and permissions:Roles and permissions are handled by UAA/XSUAA and platform role assignments, not by buildpacks.

C – Database manager:Databases are provisioned as services; buildpacks do not manage database servers.

When connecting from a CAP application to thesandboxof SAP API Business Hub (now SAP Business Accelerator Hub) for APIs such as theBusiness PartnerOData service, the learning content and examples describe that:

The sandbox environment is protected by anAPI keythat must be sent in a specific HTTP header (for example, APIKey or similar) with each request.

Tutorials for CAP/Cloud SDK and S/4HANA integration in a training context show configuration steps where developers obtain anAPI keyfrom the hub and configure it in a destination or in custom code for outbound calls.

This matches optionC – API key.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A – Client certificate:Client certificates are common for productive mutual TLS connections, not for the public sandbox.

B – Service principal:“Service principal” is an Azure-specific concept and not how the sandbox on SAP API Business Hub is accessed.

D – OAuth token:Many productive APIs use OAuth 2.0, but thesandboxin the official exercises is specifically accessed using an API key.
