- SAP Integration Suite (Correct answer)
- SAP HANA Studio
- SAP Web IDE
- SAP Fiori Launchpad
Correct answer: SAP Integration Suite
SAP Integration Suite (formerly SAP Cloud Platform Integration) is the primary middleware for connecting on-premise and cloud systems.
Question 2: Which data persistence model does SAP CAD recommend for transient application data that does not need to survive a session?
- Database tables
- Session variables or AppCache (Correct answer)
- File system storage
- Email archiving
Correct answer: Session variables or AppCache
Transient session data is best stored in session variables or browser AppCache to avoid unnecessary database writes.
Question 3: What is the role of an OData service in a certified SAP application?
- Renders UI5 views server-side
- Exposes backend data via a RESTful API consumable by SAPUI5 apps (Correct answer)
- Compiles ABAP into JavaScript
- Manages user roles and authorizations
Correct answer: Exposes backend data via a RESTful API consumable by SAPUI5 apps
OData services provide a standardized RESTful interface that SAPUI5 front-end applications consume to read and write backend data.
