Introduction
The iMaintenance Deployment & Setup Guide gets iMaintenance running safely in your enterprise landscape.
Foundation Setup for iMaintenance Deployment
Before iMaintenance can connect to SAP and expose APIs, the core environment must be initialized. This setup includes seeding MongoDB with configuration data, enabling SAP inbound services, mapping dependencies, and starting the microservices that power the application.
Configure SAP iMaintenance Roles and Authorizations
Before iMaintenance can integrate with SAP, specific roles and authorizations must be configured. These roles control access to master data, transactional posting, and integration endpoints.
Secure API Access with IP Whitelisting
Secure connectivity for Innovapptive-hosted applications is enforced by restricting inbound traffic to trusted client IPs and permitting outbound traffic only to approved Innovapptive domains. This ensures that only authorized systems can exchange data with iMaintenance while preventing unauthorized access.
Install Supporting Systems and iCWP Integration Suite
Enable SAP NetWeaver Gateway and configure virus scan handling so iCWP OData services can run securely.
SAP BTP and On-Premise Integration via Cloud Connector
Set up secure connectivity between SAP BTP and your on-premise SAP systems with the SAP Cloud Connector. This enables iCWP OData services to be consumed on BTP without exposing inbound firewall ports.
Configure API Management in SAP BTP
Create an API Proxy in SAP BTP to expose iCWP OData services from your connected SAP system. The proxy uses the API Provider details from Cloud Connector and makes the service available for policy enforcement and external consumption.
Configure OAuth 2.0 Authentication
Enable OAuth 2.0 authentication in SAP API Management so external consumers can securely obtain and use access tokens when calling iCWP APIs.
Handle CSRF Tokens in API Management
Enable server-to-server authentication between SAP API Management and the backend system, so API consumers don’t need direct backend credentials.
Troubleshoot API Errors and Metadata Issues

Introduction

The iMaintenance Deployment & Setup Guide gets iMaintenance running safely in your enterprise landscape.

This guide is written for SAP Basis/IT platform engineers, integration architects, and security admins who own everything outside the product UI—from provisioning and data seeding to SAP connectivity and API security.

What you will find in this guide

Application Environment Setup: Set prerequisites, seed core JSONs to MongoDB, start SAP inbound services, and verify collections/statuses for a clean first run.
SAP Roles & Authorizations: Map iMaintenance roles, import transports via STMS, and update required authorization objects.
API Exposure on SAP BTP: Create API providers/proxies, connect on-prem via Cloud Connector, and apply policy-based controls in SAP API Management.
Edge Security: Enforce IP allowlisting at the infrastructure edge and at the API gateway; define AccessControl policies to restrict access.
Auth Hardening: Configure OAuth 2.0 and implement CSRF token acquisition/propagation using AssignMessage and ServiceCallout policies.
Ops & Troubleshooting: Fix metadata issues, clean caches, and validate OData service readiness.
