From a S4HANA / SFDC Integration, things remain the same in terms of Integration.

• You can use a SFDC adapter from Advantco or Itelligence.
• Or you can use the SOAP Adapter as described in these blogs

Thank you for your reply Bhavesh.

One more doubt, do we need to pay something extra for SFDC Adapter, or some kind of installation.

• SFDC Adapters from external vendors have a extra licensing associated with them.
• If you use SOAP Adapter then no costs involved but there are limitations around what can be done with SOAP Adapter.

If you look at the Itelligence SFDC Adapter Features,

Salesforce.com-Adapter | SFDC-Adapter | itelligence Deutschland

• Synchronized exchange of objects with Salesforce.com via REST API - PI only Support SOAP API. For REST API, alternate of using REST Adapter + manual session handling will need to be looked at.
• Monitoring of current status for usage limits - Not Supported directly using SOAP Adapter
• Asynchronous exchange of large object sets via bulk API - Not Supported directly using SOAP Adapter
• Topic notification for prompt reception of information on objects changed in Salesforce.com - Not Supported directly using SOAP Adapter
• Sample scenarios for standard Salesforce.com objects including IDoc to SFDC and SFDC to IDoc Mappings - Not Required but can always be a good starting point
• Metadata generator for integration of your own and custom Salesforce.com objects - Manual XSD to be created in PI

Hello,

Can you also make sure when you raise a question on SCN forum, the subject is more relevant. Your threads start with SAP PI Implementation which has nothing to do with the actual question. This will make sure search results for future searches leads to a better response!

Hello Prena,

For HANA you can use JDBC adapter.

Check the below link

For SFDC soap or SFDC Adapter , You can check the link shared by Bhavesh.

Hello Raghu,

S/4 HANA is not the same as Integrating with a HANA Database.

S/4 HANA is SAP Suite for HANA which is the new ERP Suite from SAP running on HANA.

Integration between PI and S/4 HANA will continue to use IDoc / RFC / ABAP Proxies just like any other SAP System. You will not use a JDBC adapter to connect to a SAP S/4 HANA System.
