Why am I coming up with these series since already plenty of good articles are available?

Since a lot being offered by SAP now; new and open additions to the offerings have given opportunity for self-explore to customers and partners. Am trying to simplify my learning experience in a sequential mode (with a series of articles).

• Overview & System setup (Cloud Foundry trial account)


• POC - Registering CPI SOAP Service


• POC - Registering external OData service (Northwind Service)


• POC - Registering SuccessFactors OData service (through API Management)

Who can follow these?

Any technical or functional consultant (SAP & Non-SAP) – ABAPERS, Integration consultants (PO/CPI/Boomi/Any), UI/UX consultants, SaaS (SuccessFactors/Fieldglass/Concur/Any), JAVA etc. Sky is the limit.
