Which of the following are event configuration steps in a source application?

When configuring events in a source application for integration with SAP Customer Data Platform, certain key steps ensure the seamless and secure transmission of event data. Two critical components of this configuration process are:

B. Mappings:Event data often originates in formats and structures that differ from the schema used by the target system, in this case, the SAP Customer Data Platform. Mappings are essential for translating the event data structure from the source application into a format that is understood by the platform. This involves defining how each piece of data in the source event correlates to attributes within the SAP Customer Data Platform, ensuring data is ingested accurately and meaningfully.

C. Authentication:Securely transmitting event data from a source application to the SAP Customer Data Platform requires proper authentication mechanisms. This step ensures that only authorized sources can send data, maintaining the integrity and security of the data being ingested. Authentication can involve various methods, such as API keys, OAuth tokens, or other secure authentication protocols, to establish a trusted connection between the source application and the SAP Customer Data Platform.

These steps are fundamental in the event configuration process within a source application, ensuring that the data is not only correctly mapped to the SAP Customer Data Platform's schema but also securely transmitted.
