During development, in which integration flow component can you configure a simulated payload?

In SAP Cloud Integration, simulating a payload during development helps test iFlows without live data. Let’s identify the component:

Step 1: Simulation Context- During iFlow design, simulation mode allows testing with mock data, typically set in a processing step.

Step 2: Evaluate Options-

A. Content Modifier: Allows setting a static or dynamic payload in the "Message Body" tab (e.g., XML/JSON), ideal for simulation.

B. General Splitter: Splits payloads but doesn’t define them for simulation.

C. SOAP Adapter: Configures connectivity, not payload content.

D. Data Store Operations: Manages stored data, not simulation payloads.

Step 3: Simulation Process- In the iFlow editor, enable "Simulation" mode, then use a Content Modifier early in the flow to input a test payload (e.g., data). The simulation traces this through the flow.

Step 4: Official Verification- The SAP Help Portal’s "Simulating Integration Flows" and "Defining Content Modifier" confirm that the Content Modifier is used to specify a simulated payload for testing.

Conclusion: Option A is 100% verified per SAP documentation.References:
