Whenever there are sales events happening, for example at a Point of Sales, Service Delivery Platform, or E-commerce Platform there will be a need to match generated sales orders (priced or rated transactions) with the actual payments or payment confirmations (from credit cards/payment gateways, and banks). This matching is needed to properly recognize the revenue, make postings to the General Ledger and have proof of where each revenue instance came from for the tax authority auditors. While the actual matching is an accounting responsibility of the SAP S/4HANA system, it relies on the mediation system to provide accurate sales data originating in the ordering system.

SAP Convergent Mediation by DigitalRoute, public cloud edition, needs to collect the sales orders from any customer data sources (e.g., residing on the public internet or customer premises), validate the information and prepare the data before sending it to Convergent Invoicing as Billable Items (BITs).

Preparing typically involves identifying the responsible business partner/contract account(s) and retrieving the product definitions to determine which BITs have to be created – think of a bundled product that is sold as a single order but requires multiple BITs for accounting purposes. Enriching the raw input with this data allows mediation to then create the proper BIT(s) including any supplementary BITs for tax, payments, etc. which are to be sent to Convergent Invoicing. See chapter “Mediation Functions Overview” for a more comprehensive view of the preparations.

Key Challenges of LLMs Solved by RAG Bots

• Presenting False Information: LLMs can hallucinate when they lack the correct answer, often providing inaccurate responses that may appear convincing, which can lead to wrong decisions.
  
• Outdated Responses: LLMs are essentially prediction machines, generating answers based on their training data. As a result, they may provide outdated information if it falls beyond their knowledge cutoff.
  
• Terminology Differences: Natural languages like English, Spanish, or French are subjective, and the same term can have multiple meanings. LLMs may misunderstand context, leading to incorrect answers.

RAG bots address these challenges by supplementing LLMs with relevant, up-to-date information, making them a cost-effective and reliable way to enhance AI outputs.

To complete this project we will need

• Data not already accessible to the LLM: There’s no point in using widely known content, like Shakespeare’s plays, as the LLM likely already knows it.
  
• A Vector Database: In this example, we’ll use SAP HANA Vector Engine. Many options exist, including AWS vector engines and open-source alternatives. choose the one that fits your needs.
  
• A Python Environment: All code will be implemented in Python.
  
• An Embedding Model: Here, we use OpenAI’s embedding model, but any freely available model from Hugging Face or similar sources works.

What is a vector database? why do i need it? how does it differ from a real database?

Vector databases store data as mathematical representations called embeddings. Imagine visiting an ice cream shop you’ve been to a hundred times. On your 101st visit, a super-intelligent shopkeeper could instantly guess your preferred flavor based on your previous questions. That’s similar to how a vector database works.

Each piece of data is stored as an embedding, and when you ask a question, it’s converted into an embedding as well. The database then finds the part of your data that is most similar to your query. For example, if your question is meant to return the number 6, and the 12th paragraph of the 200th PDF is embedded as 5.8989898, the database will return it because it’s the closest match.

It’s crucial to embed information carefully. Using inaccurate data or poor embedding methods can result in irrelevant or excessive information being retrieved.

What are embeddings?

An embedding is a vector representation of data generated by an embedding model. In our setup, the model creates embeddings for your data, which are then stored in the HANA vector database. When you ask a question, it is also converted into an embedding, and the database compares it against the stored embeddings to find the most relevant matches.

What vector embeddings looks like

start:

For my data i used this . It is a long 2000 page pdf on aws lambda.

First install these dependencies in your terminal

python-dotenv==1.0.1 # For reading environment variables stored in .env file
langchain==0.2.2
langchain-community==0.2.3
unstructured==0.14.4 # Document loading
# onnxruntime==1.17.1 # chromadb dependency: on Mac use `conda install onnxruntime -c conda-forge`
# For Windows users, install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools first
# install onnxruntime before installing `chromadb`

Then import the following before proceeding

Step 1: Document Loading

At this point we have our database ready and we have set up our aicore model appropriately; now we can import our document.

Step 2: Splitting the documents

This is a crucial stage because how you split and chunk your documents directly affects the quality of results. Dividing documents into manageable segments allows the system to efficiently create accurate embeddings. When queried, these embeddings produce more precise responses.

Each chunk can also be enriched with metadata, such as page numbers or chapter titles. This helps locate the source if a deeper look is needed. Chunking must be done thoughtfully by headings, topics, or other logical divisions to ensure the system captures the content effectively.

Step 3: Connect to database:

At this stage, we are ready to generate the embeddings and connect them to our HANA database or any other vector database we choose to use.

There are many resources on how to connect to hana, so for now i will leave this here.

Step 4: Access Embedding Model:

As explained earlier, an embedding model transforms complex, high-dimensional data into numerical values that machines can easily understand. This makes the data easier to process and allows ML models to identify patterns and relationships.

A vector is a one-dimensional representation of data containing multiple values. For example, a weather vector might be [2, 32, 1000], representing rain (2 = yes), temperature (32°F), and location (1000 = a specific county). Vectors capture relevant information depending on the type of data being represented.

Since this is a text embedding model, it can only create embeddings for textual data. This is important if you want to embed image files etc.

Step 5: Adding Data into HANA.

First, create the schema. You can do this by running a SQL query with the desired schema. This schema will hold the table where all your embeddings are stored.

This code will create the table in your database, load your document, split it into chunks, and generate embeddings for each chunk.

When querying the data, your query is first transformed into an embedding and placed in the vector space. The vector database then returns the document chunks that are most similar to your query. This is why chunking is important: it ensures that the system can match your prompt accurately, typically using cosine similarity to find the closest matches.

After integrating everything into a clean Streamlit UI, here is the final result.

Blue-Green Deployment in SAP BTP Cloud Foundry is a reliable strategy for updating applications with zero downtime and minimal risk. The concept revolves around maintaining two identical environments:

• Blue – the current live environment actively serving users.
• Green – the new version of the application, deployed in parallel for testing and validation.

While end-users continue working in the Blue environment, developers can safely deploy and verify the updated application in Green. This allows for functional testing, performance checks, and integration validation without affecting live operations.

Once the Green environment is confirmed to be stable and fully functional, traffic is seamlessly redirected from Blue to Green, making it the new production environment. If any issues arise after the switch, rollback is straightforward—traffic can quickly be pointed back to Blue, ensuring business continuity.

SAP BTP supports this deployment approach through the Cloud Foundry CLI and Multi-Target Application (MTA) deployment tools, making it particularly well-suited for rolling out updates to mission-critical business applications where even a few minutes of downtime is unacceptable. This method not only improves release reliability but also enhances user confidence in the stability of new updates.

Key Advantages:

• Zero Downtime Deployments
  
• Quick Rollback
  
• Improved Business Continuity

Restriction:

Blue Green deployment is supported only for cloud foundry application. It is not supported for there bounded services, such as workflow content and HTM5 repository content and others.

I assume that you have knowledge of:

1. Knowledge of SAP BTP CAPM development.
2. SAP BTP Cloud Foundry
3. Basic Postman
4. OData API understanding.

Demonstration:

Step 1:

Assume you’re working on a BTP CAPM project that has already been deployed in the Cloud Foundry environment. Below is a screenshot of a basic CAPM project containing two entities:
Books and Authors

Step 2:

Below is a screenshot of Cloud Foundry Space, showing the live services

Step 3:

Below is a screenshot of calling the service using Postman:

Step 4:

The above CAP project has been built and deployed in the Cloud Foundry environment. A new requirement has now been introduced to create an additional entity named ‘E-Books’

Modify the entity and service .cds file as below:

You can test the services locally by executing Command: “cds watch”

Step 5:

Now, we build the project using

1. CLI: cds build –production. OR
2. Right Click MTA file and build.

The Build will start:

Step 6:

After the build is finished, change the directory to “mta_archives”, using command:

>>> cd mta_archives

Step 7:

We will now use the Blue-Green deployment strategy to carry out testing before promoting the changes to the live environment.

Please note we need to make use of CLI to use the strategy.

Command format:
>>>>> cf deploy <your-mta-archive-v2> --strategy blue-green

Actual Command (for the project):
>>>>  cf deploy BlueGreenDemo_v1_1.0.0.mtar --strategy blue-green

Step 8:

The deployment process will begin shortly. You can monitor its progress—a new service instance with the suffix -idle will be created as part of the Blue-Green deployment strategy

Finally, the service are now deployed.

Save the following commands, as this specifies the process ID’s of blue green deployment.
Use “cf deploy -i 2355087a-572f-11f0-aeea-eeee0a8c175e -a abort” to abort the process.
Use “cf deploy -i 2355087a-572f-11f0-aeea-eeee0a8c175e -a resume” to resume the process.process.
Hint: Use the “–skip-testing-phase” option of the deploy command to skip this phase.

Hint: Incase the above process id is lost because of terminal closed. You can get the process id using command

>>>>> cf mta-ops

Also, the above shows the status that action is required for MTA to either be aborted or resumed.

Step 9:

Check under the cloud foundry dev space in SAP BTP:
As seen in the screenshot below:
We have and Idle and live services running.

Step 10:

Check the service status using CLI :
Command: cf apps

Let’s test the idle service using postman:

The Idle service has 3 entities defined in it:

1. Books
2. Authors
3. Ebooks

Let’s check the live services as of now:
The live services are still showing 2 entities:

1. Authors
2. Books

Step 11:

Let check the commands that were saved during the deployment:
Use “cf deploy -i 2355087a-572f-11f0-aeea-eeee0a8c175e -a abort” to abort the process.

The above command is used to abort the deployment process. This is typically done when the changes deployed to the idle service do not meet the requirements. In such cases, the deployment process can be safely aborted without affecting the live environment, thereby preventing unintended changes from being promoted to production and preventing the effort of reverting the changes.

However please note:

This action does not perform a rollback, and the state of apps, routes and services remains unchanged. Depending on your needs, you might want to remove the new app versions and the temporary routes.
Let’s use the command to see the effects of:
As soon as you use the command, the process is aborted:

However, the idle routes are still available and active

Use “cf deploy -i 2355087a-572f-11f0-aeea-eeee0a8c175e -a resume” to resume the process

The deployment starts again:

Checking in the Cloud foundry the idle and live service are not removed and a live service is activated.

Requirement: Synchronous posting from EWM2S4 are generally required because of following reasons.

• Avoid hanging queue from EWM2S4
  
• Avoid stock inconsistencies between EWM & S4
  
• Real time storage location extension during posting from /SCWM/ADGI( GM code=04, NWLO from EWM to non-EWM storage location).

Logic of Synchronous Posting from EWM2S4: Activation at warehouse level( SPRO–>Extended Warehouse Management–>Interfaces–>Goods Movements–>Activate Synchronous Goods Movement Posting)

/SCWM/CL_ERP_GOODSMVT_SYNC_S4 is the maintain service class for synchronous posting from EWM2S4.

Two important methods play a pivotal role for synchronous posting

/SCWM/IF_ERP_GOODSMVT_SYNC~SIMULATE_POSTING–> This method checks the corresponding S4 Data like sufficient stock availability or even master data extension like ‘material is extended to storage location or nor in real time to avoid hanging queues and display of error at ‘UI Level’ at 10 EWM relevant transaction.

IS_GM_CODE_ALLOWED: This is the main method displaying the EWM relevant transaction meant for Synchronous posting from EWM to S4. There are total relevant processes, the blog will highlight the /SCWM/ADGI synchronous capability only from EWM to S4.

Below example is moving a Material from EWM managed to IM managed storage location using /SCWM/ADGI, GM Code=4)

System does the real time storage location extension check instead of posting and creating a hanging queue( If No Auto Sloc creation is enable in 411 Mvt type in S4).

The class /SCWM/CL_ERP_GOODSMVT_SYNC_S4 with method /SCWM/IF_ERP_GOODSMVT_SYNC~SIMULATE_POSTING performs all relevant synchronous posting simulation before posting goods movement. In below example, a real time stock availability check is performed during a Material movement from EWM to IM managed storage location.

Similarly all relevant synchronous posting can be conducted from EWM2S4 with below transaction as well which are mentioned

• Difference analyzer(/SCWM/DIFF_ANALYZER)
  
• Difference analyzer(/DIFF_ANA_CAT_CHG)- Stock category change during posting.
  
• Initial Stock upload( /SCWM/ISU)
  
• Posting change ( /SCWM/POST )
  
• /Unplanned Goods Issue( /SCWM/RGI_SCRAP)- /SCWM/ADGI
  
• Stock type change report( R_STOCK_TYPE_CHANGE )
  
• monitor posting change via ‘BBD/SLED Overview’—>MON_DDATES_PC’,
  
• monitor posting change via ‘Physical Stock–> ‘MON_PHYSTO_PC’,
  
• Consumption against PMR- ‘MFG_GI’,
  
• Goods Movement Kanban Staging task Wbse to PSA- TO_KANBAN’,

All relevant information replicated is based on my personal experience and insight. Relevant tests have been performed in S/4 HANA 2023 FPS02 system.

SAP Cloud Identity Services (CIS) is a robust suite of tools designed to manage identity and access across the SAP ecosystem. This blog explores how CIS integrates with SAP SuccessFactors, focusing on hybrid integration patterns that enable seamless user authentication and identity provisioning in complex enterprise landscapes.

There are three primary flavors to integrating

1. Standard Integration (Recommended)
   
2. Proxy Integration using CIS(external IDP as authentication provider)
   
3. Hybrid Integration using CIS (external IDP or both external IDP and CIS as authentication provider) without SF being the source of user records to CIS

SAP SuccessFactors with SAP Cloud Identity Services:

Option 1: Integration Between SAP SuccessFactors and SAP CIS (Standard)

This is the most recommended method, fully aligned with SAP’s best practices for managing user identities. It involves the following steps:

1. Integrate SAP SuccessFactors with Identity Authentication: Run the upgrade job in the SAP SuccessFactors Upgrade Center to enable features and establish trust between SF and CIS.
   
2. Confirm that user sync is set up in Identity Provisioning in SAP Cloud Identity Services: Set up sync jobs with Identity Provisioning. Ensure that the user that is configured in the Identity Provisioning
   
3. Review the default configurations: Review the default configuration of the Identity Authentication service to determine if it meets your requirements or if additional configuration is required.
   
4. Additional configuration optional features:Configuration options in Identity Authentication include: Password policy settings, Single sign-on (SSO) etc
   
5. Activate Identity Authentication (IAS): Turn on the Identity Authentication service

This ensures standardized, low-effort configuration and a consistent integration experience.

Option 2: Using SAP CIS as a Proxy (Standard)

Many enterprises already use external identity providers (e.g., Azure AD, Okta) and want to continue doing so while adopting SAP applications.

By integrating the external IdP with CIS, organizations can:

• Maintain centralized identity governance.
  
• Enable secure authentication across SAP SuccessFactors, SAC, and Joule.

In this approach CIS acts as a proxy and user authentication is taken care by the external Identity provider like Entra, OKTA, etc. CIS may/may not have user records in its internal store (based on your requirements). Federation can be used if user records exist. Synching user records in CIS unlock features like SAC and future innovations such as SAP Joule, as they’re a key prerequisite for access. Ideal for customers wanting minimal disruption to existing identity infrastructure while gaining access to SAP’s innovation roadmap.

Option 3: Hybrid Integration — Using SAP CIS as a Proxy Without Standard SF User Sync.

Further details in this blog primarily focuses on this hybrid model.

Key Characteristics:

• SAP SuccessFactors is not the user provisioning source.
  
• CIS can act as a proxy or both proxy and IDP
  
• User profile data is synced to CIS from a different /external source to enable:
  
  • Access to services like SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and SAP Joule
    
  • Federated authentication via external IdPs

This method provides the flexibility to maintain external Identity manager to keep managing users in an enterprise while using SAP CIS to enabling access to SAP applications and to access new features and innovations.

Understanding Standard Integration Behavior

SAP’s standard SF-to-CIS integration includes two background jobs(in case if SAC exist):

Job 1: User Sync from SuccessFactors to IAS

• Reads user data from SF.
  
• Creates users in CIS.
  
• Generates a Global User ID, and store it in personKeyNav/GlobalUserId in SF.
  
• Populates CustomAttribute1 if the user has SAC access permissions.

Job 2: Sync to SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

• Reads user data from SF and syncs only users with access to embedded analytics to SAC
  
• Prevents SAC user creation for ineligible accounts.

Adapting the Integration for an External Data Source

If you’re not syncing users from SAP SF (i.e., using an external Data source like Identity manager), the standard jobs need to be customized to use IAS as the source and SAC as the target. It is very important to make sure that only users who have permission to embedded analytics should be synched to SAC. This step can be done either inside the cync job or can be taken care at source level (making sure to populate the custom attribute only if user has permission to access SAC)

To configure this job, you can modify the existing target or create a new one. If creating a new target, an SAP support ticket is required to set credentials (OAuth token URL, Client ID, and Secret).

Step-by-Step: Hybrid Integration with External Source

1. Integrate SAP SuccessFactors with Identity Authentication: Run the upgrade job in the SAP SuccessFactors Upgrade Center to enable features and establish trust between SF and CIS.
   
2. Review the default configurations: Review the default configuration of the Identity Authentication service to determine if it meets your requirements or if additional configuration is required.
   
3. Create Admin User for SCIM Access: Use SCIM APIs to push user records from the external system.
   
4. Retain Global User ID (Optional): If needed, set the Global User ID in CIS to a unique external ID or let the system generate one. This Global User Id needs to be updated in SF at (personKeyNav/GlobalUserId).
   
5. Sync to SAC
   Run a custom job (IAS → SAC) to:
   
   • Check SAC access rights.
     
   • Create users accordingly.

Addressing Common Technical Challenges in Hybrid Integration

1: Managing Different Subject Name Identifiers (SNI) Across Applications

In hybrid, multi-application environments, it’s common for login identifiers to vary across systems. SAP CIS supports multiple Subject Name Identifiers (SNI) per application, allowing flexibility. For scenarios where CIS login name is taken by another application as the identifier and it doesn’t have the same value as username in SF then any other field supported field can be used for SNI.

For SAP SuccessFactors (SF), it’s essential to ensure that the runtime value of the SNI must align with the SF username field to enable proper user identification.

Note: Expression-based SNI mapping is supported, but functionality is currently limited. Use with caution and review configuration thoroughly before implementation

2: Can SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Work Without a Direct Sync from SF to CIS?

Yes, Though it is recommended to sync it from SF SAC does not require a direct user synchronization from SF. However, there’s a critical requirement to enable user access:

Ensure CustomAttribute1 is correctly populated, as it is used to determine analytics access. Regardless of the data source, this attribute must be synced to SAC via CIS.

3: Can CustomAttribute1 Be Replaced with Another Attribute?

Absolutely. CustomAttribute1 is just a label. In SAP CIS, custom attributes are internally stored as an array, offering flexibility in how they’re used.

If you choose to use a different custom attribute:

• Ensure the transformation logic is updated accordingly, to confirm that consuming applications (e.g., SAC) are configured to read the new attribute.
• Update the SNI mapping to reference the correct custom attribute.

4: Connecting Multiple SF Tenants to a Single CIS Tenant (with SAC for Each SF)

While technically possible, connecting multiple SuccessFactors tenants to the same CIS tenant, each with its own SAC instance, but it is not recommended. This setup introduces significant complexity in Managing user states across tenants.

Conclusion

Integrating SAP SuccessFactors with SAP Cloud Identity Services offers flexibility, security, and alignment with SAP’s innovation roadmap. Whether through standard integration or a hybrid identity landscape using external IdPs, these methods empower organizations to centralize access control, reduce redundancy, and prepare for emerging technologies like SAP Joule.
