Groovy Scripts and Custom Mapping Functions in SAP Cloud Integration

Groovy is the escape hatch in SAP Cloud Integration: reading and setting the body, headers and properties of the Message object, writing custom mapping functions with MappingContext and Output, parsing XML and JSON safely, and logging without leaking data. The course covers script step versions (Groovy 2.4 and 4.0), script collections, local unit tests and contract tests, and when not to script at all, using Contoso's move of its PO interfaces to Integration Suite.
