ABAP Channels for Event Signaling

A computer program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

• establishing a first push channel on a first application server for connecting a first client to the first application server;
• establishing a first messaging channel on the first application server, wherein the first messaging channel communicates with the first push channel, the first push channel and the first messaging channel to form a first session corresponding to the first client;
• establishing a second push channel on a second application server for connecting a second client to the second application server, wherein the first and second application servers communicate on a communication network;
• establishing a second messaging channel on the second application server, wherein the second messaging channel communicates with the second push channel, the second push channel and the second messaging channel to form a second session corresponding to the second client;
• and
• exchanging messages between the first messaging channel and the second messaging channel to form a connection between the first client and the second client.
