Administration of Event Queue 
Administration of Event Queue
Use
The event queue can be used to store events temporarily in a memory.
If the event queue is switched on, certain events are not passed immediately to the event receivers, but are stored temporarily in the event queue instead.
This means that the system load caused by a large number of events being created can be spread over a longer time period (which can be set by the workflow system administrator). This combats the threat of system overload.
This is achieved by the transactional RFCs for starting the receivers not being called immediately, but after a time delay and in small numbers.
Using the event queue therefore delays the calling of the receivers.
The event queue can also be used to store events that have errors temporarily.
Integration
The event queue is one of the SAP Business Workflow
administration tools.Prerequisites
