Defining Events

Context

The event scheduler processes an event if the event is defined in the system.

For example, if a system (System 1) receives an event from another system (System 2), the event scheduler of System 1 processes the event only if it is defined in System 1. That event does not need to be defined in System 2 (the sending system).

You define an event by assigning a name (EVENTID) to it. When defining an event, you do not define the event arguments.

Procedure


  1. Start Background Events (transaction SM64).

  2. Choose Create.

  3. On the Event Definition screen, enter the name of the event (EVENTID) as it appears in your program, and a short description.

    Leave the default value of the System indicator. System events are intended only for use by SAP.

  4. Choose Save.
