Migrating integration flows from SAP’s Neo environment to Cloud Foundry (CF) can be a complex process, especially when dealing with extensive JDBC requirements. This blog post outlines a practical example of how to manage such a migration while keeping the backend database in Neo.
## Background
In scenarios where the backend database is hosted on Neo, organizations may prefer to migrate it at the very end of the transition process. This approach allows all migrated integration flows in CF and existing flows in Neo to continue interacting with the Neo database seamlessly.
Setting Up HANA Service in Neo
To begin, ensure your HANA service is properly set up in your Neo account. This setup is crucial for maintaining database connectivity during the migration process.
2. Exposing HANA Service via SCC
Utilize the Service Channel Concept (SCC) to expose your HANA service. This method ensures that both migrated and existing integration flows can access the Neo database without interruption. See Configure a Service Channel for an SAP HANA Database.
3. Configuring JDBC Data Source in CPI
Next, configure the JDBC data source within the Cloud Integration capability environment. This step is essential for establishing a reliable connection to the Neo database. To add a JDBC data source, see Manage JDBC Data Source
Sample Integration Flow
Here’s a sample integration flow designed to read data from an employee table in the Neo database. This example demonstrates how integration flows can be executed successfully, ensuring data consistency and accessibility.
Execution Results
The execution results confirm that the integration flow can consume the HANA database on Neo via the SCC service channel concept.
In summary, this approach allows organizations to maintain database connectivity during the migration of integration flows from Neo to CF, ensuring a smooth transition without immediate database migration.
