Calling APIs from S/4 to SF/EC using Cloud Connector

[joaosilva13]

Hello everyone,

We are working in a project in which we need to do API calls (post and gets) from S/4 to SuccessFactors/Employee Central(SF/EC).
We have a BTP account already set, with Cloud Connector already configured and CPI as well (this last one will be used to replicate data from SF/EC to S/4).
Client has some security concerns when it comes to the usage of direct API calls from S/4 to SF/EC ( he says that he is afraid of getting hacked and so, does not want to expose the API calls, we wants to "hide" the API calls to the outside), so, he requested us to use Cloud Connector when communicating between S/4 and SF/EC.
I have searched and could not find a way to make use of the Cloud Connector, when it comes to API calls from S/4 to SF/EC (EC will be the server in this case).
Could anyone advise if it's possible to use Cloud Connector for this purpose?
If not, can anyone propose any other approach (using CPI as a middleware and creating a Proxy there, for example)?
Thank you in advance.

PS: I have limited knowledge when it comes to BASIS/Integration Topics.

Hi @joaosilva13, i dont think you need cloud connector for S/4 to SF call. Did you end up using it?

Hi @manubhutani . Yes, you are right, we don´t need the cloud connector for that. I was just checking out if it was possible to use the cloud connector for that because the client was told that it could be used for that purpose and wanted to use it, but apparently it cannot (at least for this scenario). HTTPS requests will be done now to consume data from the SF/EC systems
