Integration Architecture Best Practices
- Use the Service Layer API: SAP's modern REST API provides the most reliable integration point
- Avoid direct database writes: Always go through SAP's application layer to maintain data integrity
- Plan for upgrades: Choose add-ons with active development and SAP certification
- Monitor integration health: Implement logging and alerting for all data exchanges
