The Advanced event processing interface

The Advanced event processing interface of the WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software is used for both inbound and outbound processing. For inbound processing, it polls for events in SAP, converts them into business objects, and sends the event data as business objects to IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. For outbound processing, the adapter processes events sent from an application to retrieve data from or update data in the SAP server.

You can use the WebSphere BI Station tool to monitor inbound events.

Advanced event processing interface supports both inbound and outbound processing. For inbound, the adapter polls the SAP system for events and delivers the events to the endpoint. For this interface, the user needs to write custom ABAP handler on the SAP system. The ABAP handler is invoked by the adapter at run time. This is the most complex interface to use. The application developer would use this interface if the other interfaces cannot provide the capability needed for the application that is being developed.

Select the non-transaction RAR, which is CWYAP_SAPAdapter.rar, when you configure the adapter to make use of the Advanced event processing interface.
