Bi-directional communication on port 443 (it requires Information Technology (IT) support to setup the connection).

An Application Programming Interface (API) Management software and SAP software for integration, and they must be configured to accept sync requests and responses in a defined format. For more information, see Sync process of SDx Connector for Plant Maintenance in Cloud infrastructure.

Receive a sync request in Remote Function Call (RFC) format, and push it to SAP Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs).
-
Receive a response, convert it to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and then push it to the SDx server as same as the session Token.
