Selecting business objects and services for Advanced event (inbound) processing

To specify which function you want to process, you provide information in the external service wizard.

Make sure you have set the connection properties for the external service wizard.

Specify search criteria that the external service wizard uses to discover functions on the SAP server. The external service wizard returns a list of functions that meet the search criteria.

To specify the search criteria and select one or more functions, use the following procedure.


Procedure

  1. In the Find Objects in the Enterprise System window, indicate which IDoc you want to work with.

    1. Expand AEP.

    2. Click Discover IDoc From System to enable the filter

      button.

    3. Click the filter button.

      Instead of using the filter button, you can expand Discover IDoc From System and select the IDoc from the list. Then skip ahead to step 4.

  2. From the Filter Properties window, specify information about the IDoc or IDocs:

    1. Select Discover objects by name or Discover objects by description from the Object attribute to use for discovery list.
    2. Type a search string representing the IDoc you want to call.

    3. Select Basic IDocs or Extension IDocs from the IDoc type to use for discovery field.

    4. Indicate the number of functions you want returned by changing the value in the Maximum number of objects to retrieve field or by accepting the default value.

    5. Click OK.

  3. Select the IDoc or IDocs.

    1. Expand Discover IDoc From System (filtered).

    2. Click the IDoc you want to use. If you are working with multiple IDocs, click the names of all the IDocs.

  4. Click the arrow button to add the IDoc or IDocs to the Selected objects list.

  5. In the Configuration Parameters window, perform the following tasks to add the IDoc to the list of business objects to be imported.

    1. Optionally, select the Use SAP field names to generate attribute names check box. By default (when the check box is not selected), the field descriptions are used to generate properties.

    2. In the IDoc release version field, specify the SAP release number to identify the IDoc type you want the external service wizard to use for creating business objects.
    3. Expand the IDoc name and select one or more nodes to be used as the primary key, or leave the default values selected.

    4. Click OK.

  6. Click Next.


Results

The external service wizard has returned a list of the function or functions that match the search criteria, and you have selected the function or functions you want to work with.


What to do next

From the Specify Composite Properties window, associate an operation with the IDoc and specify the ABAP function module for the selected operation.
