ABAP Example: Creating an event in SAP EM using a BAPI call

You can use SAP Event Management to manage the statuses of your business processes. To communicate with EM you need to send it events. There are several ways of sending events to EM including via IDoc, BAPI call, RFC call and XML call. 

The syntax for sending an event using the BAPI /SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_ADDEVENTMSG_02 is described in detail below. In addition to showing you how to call the BAPI it also shows how to call the BAPI using a a qRFC leveraging a specific outbound queue name.

Here is the extract of ABAP code dealing with calling /SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_ADDEVENTMSG_02:

  data :

** Event Message data

         ls_trackingheader type /saptrx/bapi_evm_header,         ls_trackeemodify  type /saptrx/bapi_evm_ee_modify,
         lv_evtcnt type /saptrx/bapi_evm_header-evtcnt,
         lv_modcnt type /saptrx/bapi_evm_header-evtcnt,

* BAPI Structures

       lt_bapi_evm_header type standard table of /saptrx/bapi_evm_header,
         lt_trackeemodify   type standard table of /saptrx/bapi_evm_ee_modify,
         lt_bapireturn      type standard table of bapiret2,

* Working variables

        new_date type sy-datum,
         new_time type sy-uzeit,

* BAPI Calling structures
         v_last_digit,
         v_queue type trfcqout-qname,
         lt_trxserv type standard table of /saptrx/trxserv,
         lw_trxserv type /saptrx/trxserv.
