Deploy the Tekst iFlow Package in CPI

Tekst provides an iFlow package that you deploy on your own SAP BTP Cloud Integration (CPI) tenant. Once the package is deployed and connected, Tekst calls its iFlows to exchange data with your SAP S/4HANA system - for example, fetching master data such as business partners, or creating documents such as sales orders.

This guide covers importing the package, configuring it, and deploying the iFlows. Setting up the role and service key is covered separately in the "Set Up the SAP BTP Role and Service Key for Tekst" article, and entering the credentials in Tekst in the Connect SAP S/4HANA via BTP Service Key article.

Before you begin

You need:

• An SAP BTP account with Cloud Integration (CPI) active
• An SAP S/4HANA system reachable from BTP (set up a Cloud Connector if it is on-premise)
• The SAP OData APIs that your package uses enabled on S/4HANA (for example, the Business Partner or Product APIs)
• The Tekst iFlow package file (.zip), provided by Tekst
• The role and service key set up, as described in the "Set Up the SAP BTP Role and Service Key for Tekst" article

Step 1: Import the package

1. Download the package .zip provided by Tekst.

2. In your CPI tenant, open the Design (Integrations) workspace.

3. Choose Import and select the .zip file.

The package and its iFlows appear in your workspace, ready to configure.

Step 2: Configure the externalized parameters

The data iFlows expose externalized parameters that you must set before deployment so they point at your own S/4HANA system:

A couple of notes on credentials:

• The credential type depends on your S/4HANA authentication setup (Basic Auth, OAuth, client certificate, and so on).
• The Proxy Type defaults to On-Premise. Change it to Internet if your S/4HANA is cloud-hosted.

Step 3: Deploy the iFlows

Deploy all iFlows in the package from your CPI tenant. Deployment usually takes only a few minutes.

Step 4: Connect in Tekst and verify

Add the SAP S/4HANA integration in the Tekst platform using your service key credentials, as described in the Connect SAP S/4HANA via BTP Service Key article.

The package includes a connection-test (health check) iFlow. After you add the integration, Tekst automatically runs it to verify connectivity to your CPI tenant, so you get immediate confirmation that the setup works.
