API for AWS License Manager Linux Subscriptions¶

ABAP Package	`/AWS1/API_LIX_IMPL`
ABAP SDK "TLA"	`LIX`
ABAP Interface	`/AWS1/IF_LIX`

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 AWS License Manager Linux Subscriptions is LIX. 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 License Manager Linux Subscriptions 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¶

With License Manager, you can discover and track your commercial Linux subscriptions on running Amazon EC2 instances.

Using the SDK¶

In your code, create a client using the SDK module for AWS License Manager Linux Subscriptions, which is created with factory method /AWS1/CL_LIX_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_lix)       = /aws1/cl_lix_factory=>create( go_session ).

Your variable go_lix is an instance of /AWS1/IF_LIX, and all of the operations in the AWS License Manager Linux Subscriptions service are accessed by calling methods in /AWS1/IF_LIX.
