Tenant access, capability activation, network connectivity and receiver credentials are independent prerequisites. A user being able to design an iFlow does not prove its runtime can reach an on-premise service. Verify the exact adapter route and trust boundary.
Visual overview
Explanation
Tutorial outcome
Tenant access, capability activation, network connectivity and receiver credentials are independent prerequisites. A user being able to design an iFlow does not prove its runtime can reach an on-premise service. Verify the exact adapter route and trust boundary.
Prerequisites
Complete chapters 1–1 in this module. Use synthetic fixtures or an authorized sandbox.
Worked case — fictional
A fictional designer can deploy a flow, but its runtime cannot reach the test backend.
Step-by-step investigation
1. Tenant
Record the subaccount, enabled capability and intended design/runtime roles.
Expected evidence: The test tenant has the required integration capability.
2. Network
Validate the supported cloud or on-premise route and narrowly exposed resource.
Expected evidence: Only the approved backend resource is reachable.
3. Identity
Confirm the runtime authentication method and security material alias without printing secrets.
Expected evidence: The adapter references an approved credential alias.
4. Probe
Use a harmless test endpoint to separate name resolution, TLS and permission failures.
Expected evidence: Connectivity succeeds before business processing is tested.
Try it yourself
Reproduce the synthetic input from the example below in a local fixture or authorized sandbox. Follow each step, record the observed result, and explain any mismatch before continuing. Do not treat the expected evidence as a result observed in your SAP tenant.
Acceptance check
The runtime reaches only the intended test resource with the intended identity.
Common failure to avoid
Do not solve connectivity by broadening all exposed resources or putting passwords in flow parameters.
Self-check
Does designer access prove runtime receiver access?
Expected reasoning: No; network routing and runtime authentication require separate checks.
Edition and release scope
Check the linked SAP documentation for your product, runtime, region and enabled service plan. The worked case is a simulation; these steps were not executed in a customer SAP tenant.
SAP references
References checked 2026-10-30. SAP material supports the named concepts; the case, fixture and acceptance checks are original ERPClimb teaching material. No SAP tenant execution or certification is claimed.

Before you start
- Complete chapters 1–1 in this module. Use synthetic fixtures or an authorized sandbox.
Check the linked SAP documentation for your product, runtime, region and enabled service plan. The worked case is a simulation; these steps were not executed in a customer SAP tenant.
Tenant
Record the subaccount, enabled capability and intended design/runtime roles.
Expected evidence · simulated
The test tenant has the required integration capability.
Automatic playback is disabled by your reduced-motion preference. All steps remain available.
Try it, then verify
The runtime reaches only the intended test resource with the intended identity.
Watch for: Do not solve connectivity by broadening all exposed resources or putting passwords in flow parameters.

Real project scenario
A fictional designer can deploy a flow, but its runtime cannot reach the test backend.
Common mistakes
Do not solve connectivity by broadening all exposed resources or putting passwords in flow parameters.
Best practices
The runtime reaches only the intended test resource with the intended identity. Check the linked SAP documentation for your product, runtime, region and enabled service plan. The worked case is a simulation; these steps were not executed in a customer SAP tenant.
Interview angle
Does designer access prove runtime receiver access? No; network routing and runtime authentication require separate checks.
