Introducing RAP Business Events

Hi RAP developers,

RAP business events are here! With this new solution for asynchronous communication, which is natively included into the RAP architecture, you can now trigger follow-up processes for significant changes in your RAP business object.

You can provide events and consume events with your RAP BO: As event provider, you define an event in the behavior definition, raise it in the behavior implementation and create an event binding, which maps the event to a namespace, a business object and a business object operation. A RAP BO can consume released events with an Event Consumption Model that establishes design time consumption of an event from the SAP Event Mesh.

The following video gives insights about developing business events in RAP:
