🇨🇭 SAP Build: Create Event-Based Processes (Risch-Rotkreuz, Switzerland)

Dan_Wroblewski — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 10:16:06 GMT

This is the all-new SAP CodeJam for SAP Build low-code/no-code tooling that focuses on giving you hands-on experience for building event-triggered processes with SAP Build Process Automation.

You will build an event-based scenario that lets users create S/4HANA business partners, setting off a process where:

An employee approves the creation of a site access badge.
A second employee, determined based on the details of the business partner, may also need to approve the badge.
The process calls an external, 3rd-party badge system and waits to be called back.
A user creates the badge and the badge system calls back the process instance.
A notification with the badge ID is sent.

The scenario is built in 2 halves:

SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh: You will get to know all about events, CloudEvents, events in the SAP landscape, the process for publishing and subscribing to events, and your way around SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh. Then you will create a REST Delivery Point in advanced event mesh to forward events to your SAP Build on your SAP BTP trial account.
SAP Build Process Automation: You will create a process from scratch to handle the issuance of site access badges. You will learn the basics of SAP Build Process Automation (projects, triggers, conditions, creating instances, monitoring, and the Inbox), and also use some of the more recent or advanced features (event triggers, form events, waiting for a API callback).

Prerequisites

Bring your own laptop with power adapter and have a supported Web browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox installed on your laptop.
It can be helpful to bring a tablet or second laptop, if you have.

I'm taking opportunity of this SAP CodeJam annoncement to ask you advice for a more complex scenario.

In you example, then event is triggering a new workflow instance. I would like to use event to resume a running workflow instance that was waiting for this event. In your example, it would be like if, instead the external system is calling back directly a workflow waiting task, it would just create an event badge ID created for a specific business partner. And so, from this event, we have to find a way to retrieve the workflow instance id corresponding to this business partner and then, call the waiting task.
To achieve that, my idea was to use a CAP application in between the external system and SAP Build Process Automation. This application would have relied partly on the open source Events to Business Actions framework . But when trying to deploy this framework, I have discovered that it is using deprecated SAPUI5 library and deprecated Node.js version. It would required lot of effort to adapt this framework.
What would be your advice to implement such a scenario ?
