Create a communication arrangement to connect your ABAP Environment to an external system - either SAP or third-party.
You will learn
- How to create a Communication Arrangement (see below) for SAP CP Cloud Foundry Service Integration. You can then use this communication arrangement, for example to connect your ABAP Environment instance to an external API
- How to test this arrangement by creating a specific destination pointing to an external API
The communication scenario SAP_COM_0276
is predefined by SAP. It allow you to, for example, exchange data between an ABAP Environment instance and an on-premise S/4HANA System, or a third-party API.
A communication arrangement specifies the metadata for a specific communication scenario, such as your host system and the authentication method. This metadata is contained in a service key. You can then define one or more specific destinations for this arrangement.
