Event-Driven Glue Between Modules addresses a problem most SAP landscapes know too well: Disconnected FTP, API, and mail steps multiply failure points and blame.
Supplier FTP in → process → API webhook out → mail to purchasing is one dance across MF and API modules, not three projects.

Capabilities you use in iDataEngine
- A named field set as the stable API contract
- Partner onboarding playbook
- Safe-to-retry jobs with no duplicate side effects
- Saved selection and layout choices carried through the URL
- Hybrid cache + live API
- REP → SQL → BI pipeline
Recommended workflow
- Extend the same definition to the next channel (API, SQL, MF, BI) without redesigning from scratch.
- Enable monitoring alerts and review dashboard KPIs for the first production cycle.
- Run Test (iDataView Test, SQL First Row, API Test Service, or AG scan) before scheduling or publishing.
- Save and capture the generated URL, job ID, or snapshot reference in your change record.
Real-world scenario (2025)
Order XML via FTP → MF → internal table → API confirmation to supplier → mail to buyer — four modules, one monitor story.
Why it matters
Hybrid ERP + digital architecture is only maintainable when integration is observable at every hop.
The competitive edge is not more developers; it is removing wait states between idea, data, and delivery.
