WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software

Generating reference bindings

To notify the adapter of eligible event listeners, you generate reference bindings. For inbound processing, the adapter uses these event listeners to receive events from SAP before forwarding them to the endpoint (a message driven bean).

Before you begin

Make sure you have completed enterprise service discovery.
