RCG Customers Process API - Implementation Template
home
This API implementation template is a component of the MuleSoft Accelerator for Consumer Goods, which accelerate the implementation of essential integration use cases.
The solution includes pre-built APIs, connectors, and integration templates that help unlock business-critical data from external systems and guide you in adopting best practices synthesized from thousands of customer implementations. Use these assets as is or extend them to meet your company’s unique needs.
Overview
This integration template implements the RCG Customers Process API specification. It can be used to retrieve, create, and update Customers and Organization Units.
Getting started
|
The Getting Started with MuleSoft Accelerators guide provides general information on getting started with the accelerator components. This includes instructions on setting up your local workstation for configuring and deploying the applications. |
Once your workstation has been set up and the application template imported into Anypoint Studio, proceed with the Prerequisites section.
Prerequisites
This implementation template has the following dependencies:
- Anypoint MQ Destinations
- RCG SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API
- RCG Salesforce CG Cloud System API
Please review the use cases described on the MuleSoft Accelerator for Consumer Goods solution pages for more information about dependencies on other APIs and services.
API dependencies
The following table lists all endpoints used by this API (assuming all syncronization targets are enabled).
| API name | Endpoint | Action |
|---|---|---|
| RCG SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API | get:/customers | Search for an existing customer |
| RCG SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API | post:/customers | Create a new customer |
| RCG SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API | patch:/customers/{customerId} | Update an existing customer |
| RCG SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API | get:/organizationUnits | Search for existing organization units |
| RCG SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API | patch:/organizationUnits/{organizationUnit} | Update an existing organization unit |
| RCG Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API | post:/customers | Create a new customer |
| RCG Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API | post:/customers/ids | Search for Consumer Goods Cloud Ids |
| RCG Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API | post:/organizationUnits | Create a new customer |
| RCG Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API | post:/organizationUnits/ids | Search for Consumer Goods Cloud Ids |
Anypoint MQ destinations
In addition to the Anypoint MQ client application credentials, the following destinations must be created and made accessible to this API:
- rcg-customer-update-retail-queue
- rcg-customer-update-retail-dl-queue
Deployment
Each Accelerator implementation template in Exchange includes Bash and Windows scripts for building and deploying the APIs to CloudHub. These scripts depend on repositories, global settings, deployment profiles, and associated properties configured in the Maven settings.xml file. In particular, make sure the common properties for your environment have been provided in the CloudHub-DEV profile (e.g., Anypoint Platform client ID and secret).
For additional details, please refer to the Application Deployment section of the Getting Started Guide.
Preparation
Ensure the Maven profile CloudHub-RCG-DEV has been properly configured in your settings.xml file. In particular, make sure the common properties for your environment have been provided (e.g., Anypoint Platform client ID and secret).
Required property overrides
Many templates can also be run from Anypoint Studio without having to customize the Run/Debug profiles. However, some templates make use of hidden deployment properties to protect sensitive information (e.g., passwords and secret keys). These properties must be supplied to the runtime by updating the configuration profile and adding them as VM arguments. At a minimum, the following properties must be customized to reflect the target deployment environment.
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| api.autodiscoveryID | Required if using API Manager to secure this API |
| anypoint-mq.server-url | Anypoint MQ URL where the message Exchange, Topics, queues have been created |
| anypoint-mq.client-id | Anypoint MQ Client Id to access messages from MQ |
| anypoint-mq.client-secret | Anypoint MQ Client Secret to access messages from MQ |
| saphana-sys.host | SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API HostName |
| saphana-sys.port | SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API Port |
| saphana-sys.base-path | SAP S/4 HANA Customers System API Base path |
| salesforce-cg-sys.host | Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API HostName |
| salesforce-cg-sys.port | Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API Port |
| salesforce-cg-sys.base-path | Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API Base path |
| customers-prc-api.http-client.client-id | Client Id provided for Customer Process API to interact with all System API's |
| customers-prc-api.http-client.client-secret | Client Secret provided for Customer Process API to interact with all System API's |
