SAP SuccessFactors - Landscape HCI

---

Using SAP HANA Cloud Integration (HCI), you can implement various business processes like synchronization, etc. You can use Eclipsed based integration that allows you to perform mapping of business operations and messages and set up those on SAP HCI platform.

The SAP HCI tool kit contains features to develop and configure integration flows. It allows the integration of data between On-premise and cloud applications.

Integration option in HCI allows you to integrate business processes across multiple organizations, companies or multiple departments in an organization.

Following are the prerequisites to install HCI −

Component	Prerequisite
Eclipse Platform	Mars(4.5)
Operating System	Windows 8 64-Bit Note: The SAP HANA Cloud Integration Tools are not supported for MAC OS
Java Runtime	JRE version 1.7 or higher

As shown in the following screenshot, HCI is a separate kit. So you can see two different firewalls- FW1 and FW2 in system landscape.
