Frequently Asked Questions

Is ASAPIO designed for mass data or event-driven scenarios?

ASAPIO Integration Add-on is built for both. For event-driven integration, it publishes data to messaging platforms in real time, triggered by SAP business events such as a sales order change or a goods receipt posting. It operates on SAP application-server triggers (RAP events, BOR events, Change Pointers, IDocs) rather than table-based, ODP-style triggers – that's the key architectural difference from tools that rely on database change-log replication.

Because of this, ASAPIO isn't limited to a change-data stream: in production it has processed 500 million pricing table records in a single run at 41,000 messages/second, and supports background mass loads of over 1 billion records/day, alongside standard table- and CDS-based full loads and delta extraction. See the SAP data extraction & compliance FAQ for a detailed comparison with CDC tools like SNP Glue and Theobald Software.

Which events can trigger an outbound message?

ASAPIO supports multiple trigger types. See the Outbound Overview for the full list:

• BOR object events (e.g. BUS2032 CREATED)
• Business Transaction Events (BTE)
• Change Document events
• IDoc events
• RAP Business Events (from ABAP Cloud / S/4HANA)
• Custom ABAP code calling the ASAPIO function module directly

Can I use ASAPIO alongside SAP Integration Suite (CPI)?

Yes. ASAPIO publishes raw or formatted event data to a message broker (Azure Service Bus, Confluent, Solace, etc.). SAP Integration Suite (CPI) can consume from the same broker for further processing. ASAPIO and CPI serve different layers: ASAPIO handles the extraction and first-mile delivery from SAP, while CPI handles protocol mediation and complex routing.

What ABAP releases does ASAPIO support?

ASAPIO supports SAP ECC 6.0 EhP 6, SAP S/4HANA and all other NetWeaver-based systems. For detailed technical prerequisites (SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA and Service Pack levels), please see the Minimum Requirements section in the installation guide.

Does ASAPIO support SAP S/4HANA Cloud (public edition)?

No. ASAPIO Integration Add-on installs as an ABAP Add-on and requires access to a customer-managed SAP system (on-premise, private cloud, or RISE). It is not compatible with the public edition of SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
