During outbound processing, business
object data is converted into an ABAP handler function, which is called
on the SAP server.
When the data is returned by the ABAP handler function, the data is
converted to a business object, and the business object is returned
as a response.
The following list describes the sequence of processing
actions that result from an outbound request that uses the
Advanced event processing interface.
- The adapter receives the Advanced event processing record, which
contains business data along with the metadata.
- The Advanced event processing interface of the adapter uses the
metadata of the business object to obtain the type of IDoc specified
and to reformat the business object data into the structure of that
IDoc.
- After it reformats the data, the adapter passes the business object
data to an object-specific ABAP handler (based on the operation),
which handles the integration with an SAP native API.
- After the object-specific ABAP handler finishes processing the
business object data, it returns the response data in IDoc format
to the adapter, which converts it to the business object.
- The adapter returns the results to the caller.
