What is the recommended step limit for an SAP iFlow?

To maintain readability, this skill recommends limiting iFlows to approximately 15-20 steps before refactoring into subprocesses.

Does it improve flow structure?

Absolutely. It promotes a clear sequence from input to validation, processing, and output while discouraging crossing connectors.

Can it help with naming conventions?

Yes, it suggests descriptive flow names and meaningful step prefixes like Map_, Filter_, or Send_ to improve visual clarity.

How does this skill help with SAP CI maintenance?

It identifies 'refactoring triggers' such as deep nesting, inconsistent naming, and missing documentation that make long-term maintenance difficult.

API Development

Enhances the readability and maintainability of SAP Cloud Integration flows through standardized design patterns and refactoring guidance.

This skill assists developers in creating clean, professional SAP Cloud Integration (SAP CI) iFlows by applying industry-standard readability guidelines. It evaluates existing flow structures for complexity, identifies issues like over-fragmentation or inconsistent naming, and provides actionable refactoring advice to ensure integrations are easy to troubleshoot and maintain. By focusing on balanced encapsulation, configuration externalization, and clear documentation, it helps integration architects reduce technical debt within their SAP BTP environments.
