Step 1 – Understanding the Question
The question asks which technologies are used tointegrate SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private EditionwithSAP public cloud solutions(for example, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba, SAP Concur, or SAP Business Network).
SAP recommendscloud-native integration technologiesthat support secure, scalable, and managed connectivity between private and public cloud systems.
Step 2 – Evaluate Each Option
A. SAP Process Orchestration
SAP Process Orchestration (PO) is anon-premise middlewarecombining Process Integration (PI) and Business Process Management (BPM).
It is not part of SAP’s recommended integration architecture for cloud-to-cloud scenarios.
SAP Integration Suite has replaced PO for modern cloud integrations.
Result:Incorrect – Legacy tool, not used for cloud integration.
B. SAP HANA Cloud
SAP HANA Cloud is adatabase-as-a-service, not an integration platform.
It stores and processes data but does not handle integration flows or connectivity between cloud solutions.
Result:Incorrect – Not used for system-to-system integration.
C. SAP Connectivity service
The SAP Connectivity service is part ofSAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
It enablessecure communicationbetween SAP BTP applications (including SAP Integration Suite) and on-premise or private systems like SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition.
It provides thetunnel connectionandsecure channelrequired for data exchange between systems hosted in different environments.
Result:Correct – Used for secure connection between SAP BTP and Private Edition systems.
D. SAP Integration Suite
SAP Integration Suite (part of BTP) is SAP’sstrategic cloud integration platform.
It provides capabilities such as:
API management
Cloud integration (iFlows)
Event mesh for event-driven communication
Connectivity with public cloud and on-premise systems
It is theprimary toolfor integrating SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Private or Public) with other SAP cloud solutions.
Result:Correct – Core integration technology for hybrid and cloud landscapes.
