How to register to an AFTER_COMMIT event ?

Question

Dear community members,
within a transactional framework, developped in ABAP-OO (SAP NM 7.0), I would like several methods, mainly clean-up methods, to run after a 'commit work' has been triggered. The transacational framework, however, does not trigger the 'commit work' itsself, but has to listen on the 'commit work' event and to execute the clean-up methods.
Does anybodya of you know, how such a 'listener' class could look, or how one could react on the 'COMMIT WORK'-event 'or even an 'AFTER COMMIT'-event in an ABAP-OO context?
Thanks and best regards
Stefan

Answer 1

Define a global class (or using your class, define methods):
class post_commit_handler definition.
  public section.
    class-methods trans_finished for event transaction_finished
    of cl_system_transaction_state
    importing kind.
endclass.                    "post_commit_handler DEFINITION
class post_commit_handler implementation.
  method trans_finished.
    set handler post_commit_handler=>trans_finished activation false.
    "  clean up
  endmethod.                    "trans_finished
endclass.                    "post_commit_handler IMPLEMENTATION
In the code just before you trigger the commit:
set handler post_commit_handler=>trans_finished.
