# SAP BTP Cloud Integration Automation Service (CIAS)
Cloud Integration Automation Service provides guided workflows to integrate SAP cloud solutions with on-premise and other SAP cloud solutions. It offers both manual task instructions and automated configuration capabilities.
## Quick Reference
### Service Plans
| Plan | Type | Purpose |
|------|------|---------|
| **Standard** | Application | UI access for scenario planning, task monitoring, integration management |
| **OAuth2** | Service | API access for programmatic operations (required for ABAP automation) |
### Role Collections
| Role | Collection | Capabilities |
|------|------------|--------------|
| Integration Administrator | `CIASIntegrationAdministrator` | Full access: Plan for Integration, My Inbox, Monitoring; terminate scenarios |
| Integration Expert | `CIASIntegrationExpert` | My Inbox access; work on assigned tasks |
| Integration Monitor | `CIASIntegrationMonitor` | Read-only access to Scenario Execution Monitoring |
### Supported Regions
**AWS**: EU10 (Frankfurt), EU11 (Frankfurt EU Access), US10 (Virginia), AP10 (Sydney), JP10 (Tokyo), CA10 (Montreal)
**Azure**: EU20 (Netherlands), CN20 (China North 3)

## Core Workflows
### 1. Subscribe to CIAS (Standard Plan)
1. Navigate to SAP BTP Cockpit → Global Account → Subaccount
2. Go to **Services****Service Marketplace**
3. Filter by "Cloud Integration Automation Service"
4. Click tile → **Create** → Select **Standard** plan
5. Confirm creation
6. Access via **Instances and Subscriptions** → "Go to Application" icon
### 2. Assign Roles to Users
1. Navigate to **Security****Role Collections** in subaccount
2. Select role collection (e.g., `CIASIntegrationAdministrator`)
3. Click **Edit****Users** tab
4. Add users by email ID or login user ID
5. Save changes
> Multiple users can be assigned per role using comma-separated user IDs.
### 3. Plan Integration Scenario
1. Access CIAS application from Instances and Subscriptions
2. Open **Plan for Integration** tile
3. Browse available solutions in **Solutions** tab
4. Select scenario and scenario option
5. Choose systems for integration (by customer number)
6. Specify:
- Target subaccount for workflow
- SAP BTP Workflow Users (must have subaccount access)
- Transaction name for monitoring
7. Confirm workflow generation
8. Access tasks in **My Inbox** tile
### 4. Work with Tasks (My Inbox)
1. Open **My Inbox** tile (requires Administrator or Expert role)
2. Click **Claim** to lock task for your user
3. Follow instructions in **Task Instructions** tab
4. For automation tasks: Configure parameters → Click **Execute Step**
5. Click **Task Completed** when done
6. Click **Refresh** to display next task
7. Repeat until viewing Execution Summary
### 5. Create Destination for Automation
1. In My Inbox → Confirm System Components task
2. Click **Create Destination** link
3. Configure:
- **Name**: Valid identifier
- **Description**: Purpose description
- **URL**: Target system host URL
- **Authentication**: Method + credentials
- **Type**: HTTP (default)
4. Save configuration
> Always use HTTPS for secure communication.
### 6. Monitor Scenario Execution
1. Open **Scenario Execution Monitoring** tile (requires Administrator or Monitor role)
2. Filter workflows by status: Running, Completed, Canceled
3. View tabs: Task Details, Targets, Roles and Users, Scope, Support Information
4. Use **Terminate Execution** to remove scenarios permanently
5. Access **Logs** tab for automation execution details
## Service Limitations
- Maximum **15 active workflows** per subaccount
- No self-service data deletion (submit ticket to component `BC-INS-CIT-RT`)
- Logs retained for **90 days**
- OAuth2 certificate maximum validity: **1 year**
- Execution scope cannot be changed after confirmation
- Destination cannot be changed if already used in automation task
- Supported browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari (macOS)
## Security Architecture
CIAS comprises six core components:
1. **Runtime**: Backbone framework rendering integration tasks
2. **Planning**: UI for planning integration scenarios
3. **Inbox**: UI for end-user task access
4. **Monitoring**: UI for scenario implementation monitoring
5. **Managed System**: System configured during integration
6. **Automation Runtime**: Calls configuration APIs of managed systems
Security features:
- Role-based access via SAP BTP authorization framework
- XSRF protection for backend connectivity calls
- Identity provider integration (SAML assertion Name ID attribute supported)
- Credentials stored in Credential Store service (inaccessible to external parties)
## Common Error Patterns
### Empty Destination Dropdown
**Symptom**: Destination dropdown shows no options during task execution.
**Cause**: No destinations exist matching the tenant's Host Base URL.
**Solution**:
1. Create destination manually following Destination Creation steps
2. Ensure destination URL matches tenant Host Base URL exactly
3. Refresh the dropdown after creation
### Workflow Conflict Lock
**Symptom**: Cannot proceed with task; execution lock activated.
**Cause**: Multiple integration workflows exist with identical system components.
**Solutions**:
- **Proceed**: Continue without resolving (manual resolution later)
- **Terminate**: End selected conflicting instances
- **Terminate Current Instance**: Stop active workflow only
- **Cancel**: Halt operation entirely
### Application Access Denied After IdP Change
**Symptom**: Users cannot access CIAS application after identity provider change.
**Cause**: Users not managed by newly configured identity provider.
**Solution**:
1. Add users to new identity provider
2. Reassign role collections in subaccount Security settings
3. Verify user IDs exist in configured IdP
### Task Marked as Reserved
**Symptom**: Cannot claim task; shows "Reserved" status.
**Cause**: Another assigned user has already claimed the task.
**Solution**: Coordinate with team; only one user can work on claimed task at a time.
## Support Channels
| Issue Type | Component | Action |
|------------|-----------|--------|
| General CIAS support | `BC-INS-CIT-RT` | Create support ticket |
| Manual task instructions | Check Support Information tab | Submit incident to listed component |
| Data deletion request | `BC-INS-CIT-RT` | Include email ID and subaccount name |
| Service availability | Consumer account | Check Service Availability feature |
## OAuth2 API Access
For programmatic access (required for ABAP automation):
1. Navigate to subaccount → **Services****Service Marketplace**
2. Select Cloud Integration Automation Service → **Create**
3. Choose **OAuth2** plan
4. Select runtime: "Other" or "Cloud Foundry"
5. Provide instance name → Create
### Create Service Key (for API calls)
**With mTLS (Certificate)**:
```json
{
"xsuaa": {
"credential-type": "x509",
"x509": {
"key-length": 2048,
"validity": 365,
"validity-type": "DAYS"
}
}
}
```
**Without Certificate**: Create with name only.
Use generated client ID and client secret to create OAuth JWT token for API authentication.
## Data Protection
- Email IDs and subaccount names stored in service database
- System/tenant selection data preserved for workflow execution
- Logs do not store user-related personal data
- Audit logs follow SAP BTP Audit Log retention policy
- Sensitive data stored in Credential Store service
## Glossary
| Term | Definition |
|------|------------|
| **Personal Data** | Any information relating to identified/identifiable natural person |
| **Sensitive Personal Data** | Racial/ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, genetic/biometric data |
| **Residence Period** | Time between business end and end-of-purpose when data remains accessible |
| **Retention Period** | Time from last business activity through data deletion |
| **Blocking** | Restricting access to data whose primary business purpose has ended |
## Task UI Controls Quick Reference
### Automation Task Controls
| Control | Function |
|---------|----------|
| **Refresh** | Update automation statuses |
| **Expand All** | Show all parameter panels |
| **Collapse All** | Hide all parameter panels |
| **Show/Hide Read-Only Parameters** | Toggle read-only visibility |
| **Save Parameters** | Preserve current values |
| **Logs** | View execution records |
| **Information** | Parameter descriptions |
| **Execute Step** | Run automation (async) |
### Error Recovery
After automation failure:
- **Only Failed Automations** - Retry failed steps only
- **All Automations** - Retry entire sequence
