CPI migration project in 2017
cost saving, development flexibility and speed
recommendation: building a solid architectural base if you have many interfaces, it will pay off on the long run



Loosely coupled software services, API and event architecture



Prepackaged content helps



Use a common data model



Updates


When monitoring messages, next to properties such like the Time, Status, Artifact (name), and ID, you can use additional filter attributes such like Sender, Receiver, Custom Status, Application Message Type, and Custom Header. For these extended filter attributes, value help is offered now. To filter for a dedicated Custom Header, you need to enter the name of the property and its value.



Use the XML Modifier flow step to ignore external DTDs during processing.



You can now fetch access tokens of an OAuth2 Authorization Code Credential in a Script Step in your integration flow.
