In SAP Application Interface Framework, you use recipients to dispatch data messages to users, i.e., which data messages are displayed in the message monitors of SAP Application Interface Framework and for which data messages you receive alert notifications.
There are different options how to define recipients, the simplest one is by assigning an interface to a recipient. Then you would see all messages of an interface in the message monitor. This option has been chosen for the tutorials that we have published so far.
Besides this option, you have two more options that allow you to set up the recipient assignment in a more sophisticated manner: either based on message categories or based on key field values, see also Defining Recipients.
We have recently published two new tutorials helping you to make yourself familiar with those two recipients definition options:
Determining Recipients by Key Fields
In the Determining Recipients by Key Fields tutorial, you learn how to define a single key field which is then used in a recipient assignment table to be able to dispatch data messages based on key field values, i.e., based on payload data. In our simple example, we assume that different users are responsible for data messages related to different country codes.
Determining Recipients by Message Categories
In the Determining Recipients by Message Categories tutorial, you learn how to define message categories which club together different error messages. You then maintain a recipient assignment table to be able to dispatch data messages based on particular error categories assuming that different users are responsible to handle different errors. In our simple flight booking example, we distinguish between errors related to the travel agency, the flight data, and the passenger data.
