Notify running instance of a program

Hi,

I have written an abap module pool program. My question is: is there a way I can notify other running instances of this program? On the screen I have a button. Clicking the button an event would be raised a catched in other instances of the program. Is that possible? Thanks.

Hi Michal,

I'm nto 100% sure what you are tying to do. But if you want to sent real time events/messages between different running instances of your program ABAP Push Channels might be what you are looking for:

I guess you also want to refresh other screens? (otherwise I don't see the interest of your request)

You may do screen refresh using class cl_gui_timer or using aRFC function module and wait (to be restarted everytime it terminates). Search the forum for more info.
