Definition

A decision-making criteria that SAP Event Management uses when checking if it can execute a task for an event handler.

Rule conditions can be either Boolean equations or function modules.

Use

The rule processor checks the conditions by calling the appropriate rule set for the respective event handler when processing event messages . Depending on the result, the rule processor decides whether SAP Event Management needs to react to the event message (for example, by sending an e-mail), or not.

You can define a Boolean equation with parameters from the event handler and the event message, or an equation that executes a complex evaluation and then returns the result to the rule processor.

Example Example

The following questions are examples of rule conditions:

  • Has the final destination been reached?

  • Is the event an exception?

  • Is the service provider who reports the event the same service provider that I expected to send the event message?

  • Were the goods delivered on time?

End of the example.
