API for Alexa For Business¶

ABAP Package	`/AWS1/API_AFB_IMPL`
ABAP SDK "TLA"	`AFB`
ABAP Interface	`/AWS1/IF_AFB`

The "TLA" is a Three Letter Abbreviation that appears in ABAP class names, data dictionary objects and other ABAP objects throughout the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP. The TLA for Alexa For Business is AFB. This TLA helps squeeze ABAP objects into the 30-character length limit of the ABAP data dictionary.

Installation¶

To install the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP, import the Core transport, along with the transport for the Alexa For Business module and other API modules you are interested in. A few modules are included in the Core transport itself. For more information, see the Developer Guide guide.

About The Service¶

Alexa for Business has been retired and is no longer supported.

Using the SDK¶

In your code, create a client using the SDK module for Alexa For Business, which is created with factory method /AWS1/CL_AFB_FACTORY=>create(). In this example we will assume you have configured an SDK profile in transaction /AWS1/IMG called ZFINANCE.

DATA(go_session)   = /aws1/cl_rt_session_aws=>create( 'ZFINANCE' ).
DATA(go_afb)       = /aws1/cl_afb_factory=>create( go_session ).

Your variable go_afb is an instance of /AWS1/IF_AFB, and all of the operations in the Alexa For Business service are accessed by calling methods in /AWS1/IF_AFB.

Paginators¶

Paginators for Alexa For Business can be created via get_paginator() which returns a paginator object of type /AWS1/IF_AFB_PAGINATOR. The operation method that is being paginated is called using the paginator object, which accepts any necessary parameters to provide to the underlying API operation. This returns an iterator object which can be used to iterate over paginated results using has_next() and get_next() methods.

Details about the paginator methods available for service Alexa For Business can be found in interface /AWS1/IF_AFB_PAGINATOR.
