Expose RAP Business Event in SAP BTP ABAP Environment

Now create the event binding for your newly created business event. This event binding is needed to map an event to a RAP entity event.

1. Right-click on your package and create an event binding
   • Name: ZEVENT_EXPOSURE_###
   • Description: RAP business event

1. Here fill all fields out, to get errors gone. You can freely choose these names to specify your event with some considerations explained below
   • Namespace: zevent### (No camel case and no space)
   • Business Object: OnlineShop (No Space)
   • Business Object Operation: create

1. Click Add to add items.
   • Root Entity Name: ZR_ONLINE_SHOP_### (your behavior definition)
   • Entity Event Name: ITEMISORDERED (Event name in your behavior definition)

1. Save and activate your event binding.

2. As you can see at the screenshot, Type (aka topic) is a concatenation of the three attributes (name space, business object, business object operation) and ends with the version of the event. The wildcard * points to the corresponding event e.g. created. This is relevant for addressing the events to the Event Mesh. Copy this address for later use zevent###.OnlineShop.create.v*.

After an event is raised, it should arrive at the Event Mesh to be consumed later. The connection between the system and the SAP Integration Suite Event Mesh is achieved through a channel. For this, you need to create a communication arrangement in your cloud system with sap_com_0092 scenario which is built for an event enablement and also an Event Mesh instance’s service key.

One requirement is that you have an existing SAP Integration Suite Event Mesh service instance. You can create an instance of SAP Integration Suite Event Mesh provided that you already subscribe to the Integration Suite Event Mesh capability.
