Abstract: Embodiments may facilitate event processing for an ABAP platform. A business object data store may include a RAP model, including a behavior definition, for a business object. A framework may automatically transform the behavior definition of the RAP model into a producer event via an event binding and a cloud event standardized format. Information about the producer event may then be passed to an ABAP application associated with a pre-configured destination at an enterprise business technology platform. In some embodiments, a standalone API enterprise hub data store may contain an event specification. An ABAP development tenant of a business technology platform may automatically parse the event specification and translate the parsed information into high-level programming language structures that reflect an event type at runtime. An event consumption model may then be generated based on the event type.
