API for Amazon GameLift¶

ABAP Package	`/AWS1/API_GML_IMPL`
ABAP SDK "TLA"	`GML`
ABAP Interface	`/AWS1/IF_GML`

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 Amazon GameLift is GML. 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 GameLift 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 this API Reference

This reference guide describes the low-level service API for Amazon GameLift. With each topic in this guide, you can find links to language-specific SDK guides and the Amazon Web Services CLI reference. Useful links:

Using the SDK¶

In your code, create a client using the SDK module for Amazon GameLift, which is created with factory method /AWS1/CL_GML_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_gml)       = /aws1/cl_gml_factory=>create( go_session ).

Your variable go_gml is an instance of /AWS1/IF_GML, and all of the operations in the Amazon GameLift service are accessed by calling methods in /AWS1/IF_GML.

API Operations¶

For an overview of ABAP method calls corresponding to API operations in Amazon GameLift, see the Operation List.

Factory Method¶

`/AWS1/CL_GML_FACTORY=>create( )`¶

Creates an object of type /AWS1/IF_GML.

IMPORTING¶

Optional arguments:¶

`IV_PROTOCOL` `TYPE /AWS1/RT_PROTOCOL` `/AWS1/RT_PROTOCOL`¶

`IO_SESSION` `TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_RT_SESSION_BASE` `/AWS1/CL_RT_SESSION_BASE`¶

`IV_REGION` `TYPE /AWS1/RT_REGION_ID` `/AWS1/RT_REGION_ID`¶

`IV_CUSTOM_ENDPOINT` `TYPE /AWS1/RT_ENDPOINT` `/AWS1/RT_ENDPOINT`¶

RETURNING¶

`OO_CLIENT` `TYPE REF TO /AWS1/IF_GML` `/AWS1/IF_GML`¶

/AWS1/IF_GML represents the ABAP client for the GameLift service, representing each operation as a method call. For more information see the API Page page.

Configuring Programmatically¶

DATA(lo_config) = DATA(go_gml)->get_config( ).

lo_config is a variable of type /AWS1/CL_GML_CONFIG. See the documentation for /AWS1/CL_GML_CONFIG for details on the settings that can be configured.

Paginators¶

Paginators for Amazon GameLift can be created via get_paginator() which returns a paginator object of type /AWS1/IF_GML_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 Amazon GameLift can be found in interface /AWS1/IF_GML_PAGINATOR.
