Integrate a Modern Order System with a Legacy SAP ERP
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Map the 5 required integrations: order create (sync), pricing inquiry (sync, sub-300ms), inventory availability (sync, with cache), credit check (sync), order status events (async). For each, choose the right SAP interface (BAPI, IDOC, or OData) and the right pattern (sync request/response, async event, polling). Design an outbox pattern for the new commerce side to handle SAP outages. Prototype the order-create + order-status flows using Apache Camel. Deliver a 14-page integration design doc, the prototype source, and a 6-page runbook for the integration ops team.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design and prototype a 5-touchpoint integration between a new commerce front end and a legacy SAP ECC ERP that handles sync + async patterns and survives ERP outages.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Choose between SAP BAPI, IDOC, and OData based on integration pattern needs
- Apply the outbox pattern to protect against downstream ERP outages
- Design sync vs async integration tradeoffs with explicit SLOs
- Document an integration runbook the ops team will actually use
