Procedure to Trigger Events in Remote System Using an ABAP Program

Introduction
As a part of BW Process it may be required to trigger events in Remote System (eg: BW. R/3, APO) to start a Job or a process chain. This can be achieved by an ABAP prgram which can be used to call the events in a Remote System.

Scenario
In this document an ABAP Program ZRFC_RAISE_REMOTE_EVENT is created which will call a remote event in R/3 from a BW system.

Procedure
Creating a Table 1. Go to T-Code SE11 and create a Transparent table ZRFCDETAILS with Delivery Class C with the below fields

2. Maintain the RFC Destination details in the table ZRFCDETAILS

RFC Enabled Function Module 1. Go to SE37 and create a FM Z_BP_EVENT_RAISE with the following import parameters.

2. Exceptions used in the Function Module.

3. Write the code as below to.
