Abstract
A computer-implemented method for calling a REST webservice for interacting with a database that stores database information, the method comprising: presenting to a user a list of pre-existing events, wherein each of the pre-existing events provides a trigger in response to activity in the database; receiving a user selection of one of the presented pre-existing events; receiving a user selection of one or more actions to be taken in response to the selected pre-existing event providing a trigger; and when the selected pre-existing event happens, calling a REST webservice by sending data to a receiver based on the selected pre-existing event and the one or more selected actions.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method for calling a Representational State Transfer (REST) webservice for interacting with a database that stores database information, the method comprising, within an SAP database system in which the database resides:
- presenting to a user a list of pre-existing events, wherein each of the pre-existing events provides a trigger in response to activity in the database, and wherein the list of pre-existing events comprises at least one change pointer that represents a modification of a specific group of fields in the database;
- receiving a user selection of one of the presented pre-existing events;
- receiving a user selection of one or more actions to be taken in response to the selected pre-existing event providing a trigger, wherein the one or more actions comprise an SAP table service or an SAP function module that performs an operation on the database;
- storing the one or more selected actions within configuration data;
- and
- when the selected pre-existing event happens, integrating the stored configuration data into a framework of a REST webservice of the database system to produce a configured REST webservice that performs the operation on the database, and calling the configured REST webservice to perform the operation on the database.
A hardware processor for calling a Representational State Transfer (REST) webservice for interacting with a database that stores database information, the hardware processor configured to, within an SAP database system in which the database resides:
- present to a user a list of pre-existing events, wherein each of the pre-existing events provides a trigger in response to activity in the database, and wherein the list of pre-existing events comprises at least one change pointer that represents a modification of a specific group of fields in the database;
- receive a user selection of one of the presented pre-existing events;
- receive a user selection of one or more actions to be taken in response to the selected pre-existing event providing a trigger, wherein the one or more actions comprise an SAP table service or an SAP function module that performs an operation on the database;
- store the one or more selected actions within configuration data;
- and
- when the selected pre-existing event happens, integrate the stored configuration data into a framework of a REST webservice to produce a configured REST webservice that performs the operation on the database, and call the configured REST webservice to perform the operation on the database.
