Event Handler Set 

Definition

A group of event handlers that logically belong together and that map a certain process within the supply chain.

The event handler set forms a link between these related event handlers. SAP EM displays the event handler to the Web interface user as one unit (for example, for queries).

 

An example of Tracking a Shipment

You track a sea shipment that consists of three legs:

·        Two preliminary legs on the road during which your forwarding agent transports your deliveries to the departure harbor

·        A main leg during which your forwarding agent continues with the transportation of your deliveries by sea

·        A subsequent leg on the road during which your forwarding agent transports your deliveries from the destination harbor to the relevant recipient

...

       1.      From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Event Management ® Monitoring and Lists ® Event Handler Set Browser or choose transaction /SAPTRX/EH_SET.

       2.      You specify the two SAP R/3 delivery numbers as the tracking IDs and therefore as search criteria and start the search.

       3.      The system displays the results list (event handler list) with the same number of event handlers as you have deliveries in your transportation chain. Each event handler set consists of three event handlers: one for the preliminary legs, one for the main leg, and one for the subsequent leg. The event handler list shows you the events for each of these legs (for example, departure and arrival times).

The list shows you the same information as the customer can see using the Web interface. SAP EM does not show the individual user the status of other users. You define this using the settings in the filter concept.

For more information about the settings in the filter concept, see the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG) for Event Management under Authorizations and Filters.
