Example
...
1. You create a sales order in the application system.
You have defined corresponding expected events in SAP Event Management.
2. Your partners send the appropriate event messages in XML format.
The Integration Engine of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration receives the event messages, processes them, and forwards them to SAP Event Management using Remote Function Call (RFC).
3. SAP Event Management processes these event messages in accordance with the rules defined in the corresponding rule set:
○ If the sales order is not fulfilled, SAP Event Management sends an alert to all partners. The Alert Framework sends the alerts. In this case, SAP Event Management uses the master data provided by the Master Data Server for the location.
○ As a further reaction, SAP Event Management triggers an update of the sales order in the application system.
