Business Details

With this feature, SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network will introduce new domain names for all existing URLs. SAP is standardizing domain names across SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network. These changes aim to provide consistent product branding across all data centers and this feature ensures support for this standard.

Old domain names will be phased out over a period of 8 months after the new domain names are live. Once a new domain name becomes available, if you visit a URL containing the current domain, your browser will automatically be redirected to the new domain until the current domain is decommissioned. These changes affect both test and production domains.

Note

For Suppliers: Value-Added Network (VAN) providers will not receive this notice. If you use a VAN provider, we request you to review this notice and ensure it is shared with your VAN provider.

Note

For any domains that have an existing certificate, the certificate will be updated to include the new domain prior to the new domain's availability. This ensures that you can keep using any of the certificates that are already configured for SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network to access the new domains. The IPs associated with these domains will not be changing. The regular certificate update process will communicate any necessary changes to certificates. For more details on the regular certificate update process, refer to SAP Ariba Public DigiCert Web Server Certificates.

Following are the details of the domain name changes for various data centers:

Note

For all the necessary actions required for this update, refer to Steps to update new domain URLs of SAP Integration Suite, Managed Gateway for Spend Management and SAP Business Network application in SAP ERP or SAP S/4 HANA environments.

Implementation Details

Effects on Existing Data

Your organization will need to make the following changes before and after the new domain names are activated.

  • Actions to be done before activating the domain name changes:
    • If your organization explicitly allows outgoing connections to any of the domains mentioned, you will need to update your Allow List to allow the new domain name before it becomes available.
  • Actions to be done after activating the domain name changes:

    Note

    These steps must be completed before the current domain decommissioning date.
    • Update all documented and bookmarked URLs to use the new domain names.
    • Update all programmatic (E.g. API, Integration) URL connections to use the new domain names.
    • Once a new domain name becomes available, the current domain will still work until the current domain's decommissioning date. To avoid any potential surprise or concern related to this we recommend notifying your IT department within your organization about these domain changes while using the new domain once it becomes available.
