• Key Concepts: 
  A pipe is a type of inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism that allows two or more processes to communicate with each other. In SAP, pipes are used to transfer data between different components of the system. They are also used to synchronize processes and ensure that data is transferred in a secure manner. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, pipes are used to transfer data between different components of the system. To use pipes, you must first create a pipe object and then connect it to the other component. Once connected, you can then send and receive data through the pipe. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using pipes in SAP, it is important to ensure that the data being sent is secure. This can be done by encrypting the data before sending it through the pipe. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the pipe is properly closed after use to prevent any unauthorized access.
