Course information
Course Summary
APIs are the digital building blocks for developers to build modern apps as well as open integrations. APIs are used to access data from business systems (like ERP, HR, and Sales) in a secure manner, trigger business processes, and leverage technical services such as machine learning, translation, and tax calculations into your business systems. The solution provides tools and methodologies to carry out full-lifecycle API management that involves design, implementation, testing, publication, operations, and consumption of APIs for you to deliver cutting-edge apps and integrations.
You’ll begin your learning journey by activating the SAP API Management service on an SAP Cloud Platform trial account. This course will include use cases from business scenarios and demo examples from instructors.
By the end of the course, you’ll know how to leverage the power of API management while building enterprise-grade consumer apps, integrate data and processes across disparate data sources in real time, manage and operate microservices, and efficiently monetize your APIs.

Changes to Hands-on Systems
SAP Cloud Platform has started its evolution into a true business technology platform, focusing on providing business services. The platform will provide openness and freedom of choice by partnering with hyper-scaler champions for commodity technical services. As a first step towards this strategic goal, starting July 15, 2019, SAP announced the retirement of SAP managed open-source backing services offerings – PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and RabbitMQ – from SAP Cloud Platform pricelists.
This change will affect your platform trial experience, which you might be using to complete the hands-on exercises in this course. A good trial always gives users a taste of what to expect when they go productive on the platform. With this rationale in mind, the trial or ‘dev’ plan offerings for the 4 open-source backing services will also be discontinued from new trial accounts and trial extensions created beyond July 15th. You can find out more in this blog on SAP Community.
Changes to Hands-on Systems
Dear Learners,
Some of the hands-on exercises for this openSAP course were designed to be used with SAP Cloud Platform Neo trial accounts. These accounts are no longer actively supported and as of November 2020 it is not possible to create new ones. Please note that the exercises may not work when using an SAP Cloud Platform multi-cloud trial account.
