Lessons in this topic
- BTP Fundamentals Part 1: What SAP BTP Is and How It Is OrganizedSAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is SAP's platform for building extensions, integrating systems, managing data and using AI. Learn its main capability areas, the account model (global account, directories, subaccounts), runtimes, services and entitlements, and commercial models — the map you need before touching any BTP service.
- BTP Fundamentals Part 2: Runtime Environments and ConnectivityChoose where code runs and how it reaches back-end systems: Cloud Foundry for buildpack-based apps, Kyma for Kubernetes workloads, the ABAP environment for ABAP cloud development, and the Cloud Connector plus Connectivity and Destination services for secure on-premise access.
- BTP Fundamentals Part 3: Destinations for On-Premise and Cloud SystemsConfigure destinations correctly: URL, proxy type (Internet or OnPremise), location ID, authentication types (basic, OAuth2 client credentials, OAuth2 SAML bearer, principal propagation), additional properties, and how apps and services consume them — with troubleshooting tips.
Interview questions covered
- Can you explain what SAP BTP is and name its five main functional pillars?
- Explain the role of Destinations and the SAP Cloud Connector when connecting BTP to an on-premise S/4HANA system.
- What are the differences between CAP and RAP, and how should a developer choose between them?
- How does BTP handle security using Identity Authentication Service (IAS), XSUAA, and Role Collections?
- How are Global Accounts, Subaccounts, and Directories structured within the BTP cockpit?
- What are the key differences between SAP HANA Cloud and the traditional on-premise SAP HANA database?
- What are the primary differences between the Cloud Foundry and Kyma runtimes, and when would you choose one over the other?
- What is the purpose of the SAP Integration Suite, and can you describe a typical iFlow use case?
- A side-by-side extension must read S/4HANA on-premise data. Which runtime would you pick and how does it connect?
- Several apps hard-code URLs and passwords for back-end systems. How do you redesign connectivity with destinations?
- A mid-size company is starting with SAP BTP. Explain what BTP is and how you would organize it initially.
