S/4HANA Cloud to Salesforce Material Migration
home
Use this template if you would like to sync customer's materials from SAP S/4HANA to Salesforce products in manner of one time synchronization by browse toting the HTTP endpoint. The template will fetch all customer's materials by specified criteria and send it to SAP S/4HANA to create/update products. Requirements have been set not only to be used as examples, but also to establish a starting point to adapt your integration to your requirements.
This Anypoint template serves as a foundation for setting an online sync of customer's materials from SAP S/4HANA to Salesforce.
As implemented, this template leverages the Mule batch module. The batch job is divided into Process and On Complete stages.
The integration is triggered by the HTTP endpoint to fetch all the SAP S/4HANA customer's materials suitable for migration. Fetched materials are passed to the batch as input. In the batch the product is fetched from Salesforce by its product name. If it exists, its product identifier is resolved against Salesforce. If it doesn't exist, then new product is fetched from SAP S/4HANA. Afterwards every customer material from SAP S/4HANA is sent to Salesforce where it is asynchronously updated or created. Finally during the On Complete stage the template logs output statistics data into the console and sends a notification e-mail with the results of the batch execution.

Considerations
To make this template run, there are certain preconditions that must be considered. All of them deal with the preparations in both source (SAP S/4HANA) and destination (Salesforce) systems, that must be made for the template to run smoothly.
Failing to do so could lead to unexpected behavior of the template.
Before using this template, you may want to check out this Documentation Page, that will teach you how to work
with SAP S/4HANA and Anypoint Studio.

In material to make this template run on Anypoint Studio there are a few extra steps that needs to be made.
Please check this Documentation Page:
Running on Mule Standalone
Update the properties in one of the property files, for example in mule.prod.properties, and run your app with a corresponding environment variable. In this example, use mule.env=prod.
Running on CloudHub
When creating your application in CloudHub, go to Runtime Manager > Manage Application > Properties to set the environment variables listed in "Properties to Configure" as well as the mule.env value.
Deploying a Template in CloudHub
In Studio, right click your project name in Package Explorer and select Anypoint Platform > Deploy on CloudHub.
Properties to Configure
To use this template, configure properties such as credentials, configurations, etc.) in the properties file or in CloudHub from Runtime Manager > Manage Application > Properties. The sections that follow list example values.

Customize It!
This brief guide provides a high level understanding of how this template is built and how you can change it according to your needs. As Mule applications are based on XML files, this page describes the XML files used with this template. More files are available such as test classes and Mule application files, but to keep it simple, we focus on these XML files:
- config.xml
- businessLogic.xml
- endpoints.xml
- errorHandling.xml
config.xml
This file provides the configuration for connectors and configuration properties. Only change this file to make core changes to the connector processing logic. Otherwise, all parameters that can be modified should instead be in a properties file, which is the recommended place to make changes.
businessLogic.xml
Functional aspect of the template is implemented on this XML, directed by one flow responsible of executing the logic.
For the purpose of this particular template the mainFlow just executes the Batch Job which handles all the logic of it.
This flow has Error Handling that basically consists on invoking the On Error Propagate Component defined in errorHandling.xml file.
endpoints.xml
This is the file where you will found the inbound and outbound sides of your integration app.
This Template has a HTTP Listener Connector as the way to trigger the use case.
Trigger Flow
HTTP Listener Connector - Start Report Generation
${http.port}is set as a property to be defined either on a property file or in CloudHub environment variables.- The path configured by default is
migratematerialsand you are free to change for the one you prefer. - The host name for all endpoints in your CloudHub configuration should be defined as
localhost. CloudHub will then route requests from your application domain URL to the endpoint.
errorHandling.xml
This file handles how your integration reacts depending on the different exceptions. This file provides error handling that is referenced by the main flow in the business logic.
