CDK method gotApplEvent() Full

Delta event notification Partial The connector operates by passing business object data into the SAP application via an ABAP function module. When this function executes successfully, the connector returns SUCCESS; when it fails, it returns FAIL. Because SAP is an open system, the connector supports an extremely open architecture, which allows an ABAP developer to do anything the SAP IDE permits. This includes support for the development of any verb as well as any database manipulation or code execution.
