Documentation

Definition

Point in the application from which the Business Rule Framework (BRF) is called. The call is synchronous. The linkage is fixed. For this reason, BRF events should not be viewed like ABAP objects or the Observer Pattern where an event only represents a loose linkage between two software components.

Use

BRF events are the central point of entry for using the BRF.

You can implement an event at a technical or business event in every application. If such a technical or business event is reached during the program flow in the relevant application, the event is triggeredalong with processing of the associated rules.

You can define any number of rules for each event. You can use these rules to evaluate thecurrent data and make any changes if necessary.

BRF events often bear the context.

Dependencies

Implementation of Events in the Application

You must implement a BRF event in the coding as a method call.

Registration of Events in the BRF

You must register all BRF events in the BRF.Ensure that you only register those events that are actually called.
