Events are generated as a result of activity on an application system. You can use events to trigger an action in your application.
Applications or functions within SAP may broadcast processing information at predefined points, called events. You must configure an event listener if you are to receive events from SAP. For example, the SAP Business Object, Material, may raise the event status Material, assigned when a material is created. If you wish to consume this event, you must configure an event listener to capture this event within SAP and transmit the event notification to your system.
To create an iWay event, you must create a port and a channel using iWay Explorer.
The following is a description of how ports and channels work.
A port associates a particular business object exposed by an adapter with a particular disposition. A disposition defines the protocol and location of the event data. The port defines the end point of the event consumption. For more information, see Creating, Editing, or Deleting a Port.
A channel represents configured connections to particular instances of back-end or other types of systems. A channel binds one or more event ports to a particular listener managed by an adapter. For more information, see Creating, Editing, or Deleting a Channel.
