Requirements

See Getting Started on how to jumpstart your development and grow as you go with SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP). To learn about messaging in CAP, please consult the guide on Events & Messaging.

Setup

Install the plugin via:

npm add @cap-js/advanced-event-mesh

Then, set the kind of your messaging service to advanced-event-mesh:

{
  "cds": {
    "requires": {
      "messaging": {
        "kind": "advanced-event-mesh"
      }
    }
  }
}

Setting Up the Broker

The broker itself must be created manually in SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh and trust must be established to the respective application in SAP Cloud Identity Services, both for the Solace broker and the SEMP API. For details, please consult SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh's documentation at help.pubsub.em.services.cloud.sap and help.sap.com.

Specifically, you need to configure SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh to allow your CAP application to connect to the broker. For this, follow guide CAP Plugin for SAP Integration Suite, Advanced Event Mesh.

Finally, the broker's credentials must be provided via a user-provided service instance with the name advanced-event-mesh and credentials in the following format:

{
  "authentication-service": {
    "tokenendpoint": "https://<ias host>/oauth2/token",
    "clientid": "<client id>",
    "clientsecret": "<client secret>"
  },
  "endpoints": {
    "advanced-event-mesh": {
      "uri": "https://<broker host>:<port>",
      "smf_uri": "wss://<broker host>:<port>"
    }
  },
  "vpn": "<vpn>"
}

To troubleshoot connection issues, set log level for component messaging to DEBUG. Check cds.log() for how to maintain log levels.

Broker Validation

Your app must be bound to an instance of service SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh with plan aem-validation-service. Please see Validation of VMR Provisioning for more information.

Additional Configuration Options

Additional configuration options for the messaging service (i.e., cds.requires.messaging) are:

Property	Type	Description
skipManagement	boolean	If set to true, the plugin will not create a queue or subscription. This is useful if you want to manage these resources manually, default: false
subaccountId	string	The ID of the subaccount in which SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh is subscribed. This is necessary in case the app runs in a different subaccount.
session	SessionProperties	Used for createSession
queue	createMsgVpnQueue	The queue object which is created via the SEMP API
consumer	MessageConsumerProperties	Used for createMessageConsumer
clientFactory	SolclientFactoryProperties	Used to create the SolclientFactory instance

The default values can be found in the plugin's package.json. As always, the effective configuration for your project can be queried via CLI command cds env.
