To connect to data sources that are NOT all based on OData, which of the following options does SAP recommend you use?

Question

Options

• AOData Provisioning service
• BSAP Process Integration
• CCloud connector
• DSAP Integration Suite

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  8% (2)
• C
  15% (4)
• D
  73% (19)

Explanation

SAP Integration Suite (D) is the recommended choice because it is SAP's comprehensive, multi-protocol integration platform that supports OData, REST, SOAP, JDBC, IDoc, flat files, and more - making it purpose-built for heterogeneous data source connectivity.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. OData Provisioning - purpose-built to expose OData services; it is OData-specific by design and cannot bridge non-OData sources.
• B. SAP Process Integration (PI) - an older, on-premise middleware. It isn't the modern, cloud-recommended approach for diverse connectivity scenarios.
• C. Cloud Connector - a secure tunnel that links on-premise networks to SAP BTP; it handles network routing, not protocol transformation or multi-source integration.

Memory tip: Think of SAP Integration Suite as the "universal adapter" - if the question involves mixing protocols or connecting sources that aren't all speaking the same language, Integration Suite is the answer. Any option with a single technology name in it (OData, PI, Cloud Connector) is a narrower, single-purpose tool.
