RAP Events

Overview

With release 2504 (9.32504) the ASAPIO Integration Addon supports RAP events as triggers for outbound interfaces. SAP offers local consumption of RAP Business Object events since release S/4 HANA 2023. With this SAP has opened up the possibilities for custom application integrations by giving access to all new events that are added by the new RAP Business Objects.

Prerequisites

To use the RAP events integration you need:

• a SAP System with release S/4 HANA 2023 (or later)
• the ASAPIO Data Studio

Base line configuration

Create default bgRFC destination BGPF

First check if this default destination is already created in your system. In most systems this will already be present.
If not please follow https://help.sap.com/docs/abap-cloud/abap-concepts/creating-default-destination-bgpf?locale=en-US or execute the following steps:

• Go to transaction SBGRFCCONF.
• Click on the tab Define Inbound Dest.
• Press the button with the tooltip Create.
  On the Configure Inbound Destination dialog box, do the following.
  1. Enter the Inb. Dest. Name BGPF.
     

     Restriction
     Do not enter information for Logon/Server Group or Add Queue Prefix.

  2. Choose Save.

Create application specific bgRFC destination

For the processing of RAP events our implementation uses bgRFC calls. To configure the necessary destination

• Go to transaction SBGRFCCONF.
• Click on the tab Define Inbound Dest.
• Press the button with the tooltip Create.
  On the Configure Inbound Destination dialog box, do the following.
  Enter an Inb. Dest. Name of your choice (e.g. ASAPIO).
• Choose Save.

Setup connector instance

First setup the connector instance following the guide at Connectors for your specific connector type.

Then add the application specific bgRFC destination in the default values of the connection instance:

• add attribute ACI_BGRFC_DESTINATION and give the created application specific bgRFC destination

Activating RAP events

Please follow the Data Studio guide on how to deploy interfaces.

The Data Studio comes with the predefined events for the supported RAP objects:

How to add custom payloads

With the following steps you can add custom payloads:

1. Create your Payload Design
2. Add event definition in Data Studio
   • you need to specify your Payload Design in Catalog Object Id / Version
   • enter the event information in Event Type, Object ID and Event Name

With these steps your Payload Design will be available in the Data Catalog screen and the details will have the event listed with which you can deploy the interface.
