Definition

The event handler type is the definition of the business process or the business objects that an event handler represents.

It is an SAP Event Management (SAP EM) control parameter that applies the rule set and expected event profile to control the processing of event handlers, and that contains the expected events.

The following are examples of event handler types:

      A purchase order for a supplier

      A manufacturing order for a plant

      A sea container for a shipment

Use

You can use the event handler type to specify the following:

      The way in which the system creates and updates an event handler

      The rule set for an event handler for processing event messages

      The profile settings for the following profiles:

       The expected event profile

       The status attribute profile

       The authorization profile for querying event handler data

      How data for an event handler is transferred to SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence

      The activation for writing change documents

      The activation of the application log and the degree of detail of the logging

      The possibility to hide the historical data for expected events, measurement data, or status attributes to improve performance

The event handler type is dependent on the application object’s parameters and is determined using conditions and a mapping function.
