Definition

Description of the current status of an event handler or event handler set. The status attribute consists of a name and one or more values.

You define a status attribute Fill Status with status attribute values Empty/Half-Full/Full.

Use

SAP Event Management (SAP EM) uses the default value for the status of the supply chain event management-relevant object or process together with the expected events and parameters, when an event handler or event handler set is created. You specify the default value in Customizing for SAP EM.

When you send actual data on the status of an event handler or event handler set to SAP EM in an event message, SAP EM checks the condition from the rule set of the event handler or event handler set. If you have defined an activity in the rule set for updating statuses, the evaluation of the condition may trigger this activity, depending on the result. SAP EM updates the status attribute.

You can assign an icon to each status attribute in Customizing for SAP EM under Event Handler Data ® Status ® Define Status Attributes.

The status or the icon provides you with a quick overview of the relevant event handler or event handler set when you make queries to SAP EM. You can also use the status as a search criterion for event handlers.

For more information about Customizing status attributes, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Event Management under Event Handlers and Event Handler Data ® Status.

You classify the status attribute values in status attribute types that are either the YES/NO type or the Status Attribute Value type.

A status attribute type specifies, for example, the status Shipment On Time as YES/NO or the status of a vehicle as Loaded/Empty or as Delayed/Deviated from Route/Damaged.

For more information about defining status attribute types, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Event Management under Event Handlers and Event Handler Data ® Status  ® Define Status Attributes.

You group one or more status attribute types in a status attribute profile, which you assign to an event handler type.

For more information about defining status attribute profiles, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Event Management under Event Handlers and Event Handler Data ® Status  ® Define Status Attribute Profiles.
