The data integration options available in SAP Ariba allows customers to import or export master and transaction data, to and from their ERP system. Data can be imported or exported by running individual or batch data import or export tasks from the user interface, or by scheduling the import or export using the SAP Ariba Integration Toolkit (ITK). The Integration monitoring API for Procurement allows customers to develop client applications that call the Integration monitoring API URL, which will return the status of a particular integration event (a data import or export task). This is useful for customers to automate their batch import or export jobs to or from their SAP Ariba solution. Buyer organizations can use the Integration monitoring API to monitor the status of import and export integration events. The API returns the current running status of the specified event, or, if the event is not currently running, the system returns details of the last run status of the specific event. It can also be configured to return the execution history of the integration event.

The Integration monitoring API is applicable to:

• SAP, PeopleSoft, and generic ERP systems
• Individual import and export file channel integration events
• Batch import integration events
• Transaction and master da
