API for AWS CloudTrail

ABAP Package /AWS1/API_TRL_IMPL
ABAP SDK "TLA" TRL
ABAP Interface /AWS1/IF_TRL

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 CloudTrail is TRL. 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 CloudTrail 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

CloudTrail

This is the CloudTrail API Reference. It provides descriptions of actions, data types, common parameters, and common errors for CloudTrail.

CloudTrail is a web service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your Amazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. The recorded information includes the identity of the user, the start time of the Amazon Web Services API call, the source IP address, the request parameters, and the response elements returned by the service.

As an alternative to the API, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide programmatic access to CloudTrail. For example, the SDKs handle cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services.

See the CloudTrail User Guide for information about the data that is included with each Amazon Web Services API call listed in the log files.

Using the SDK

In your code, create a client using the SDK module for AWS CloudTrail, which is created with factory method /AWS1/CL_TRL_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_trl)       = /aws1/cl_trl_factory=>create( go_session ).

Your variable go_trl is an instance of /AWS1/IF_TRL, and all of the operations in the AWS CloudTrail service are accessed by calling methods in /AWS1/IF_TRL.

API Operations

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

Factory Method

/AWS1/CL_TRL_FACTORY=>create( )

Creates an object of type /AWS1/IF_TRL.

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_TRL /AWS1/IF_TRL

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

Configuring Programmatically

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

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

Paginators

Paginators for AWS CloudTrail can be created via get_paginator() which returns a paginator object of type /AWS1/IF_TRL_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 AWS CloudTrail can be found in interface /AWS1/IF_TRL_PAGINATOR.
