Publish messages to Google Cloud Pub/Sub

This quickstart shows you how to create a program that publishes a "Hello World!" message to a Pub/Sub topic by using the Pub/Sub API.

Before you begin

Before you run this quickstart, make sure that you or your administrators have completed the following prerequisites:

Create a program to publish messages to Google Cloud

  1. In the SAP system, create an executable program in your custom namespace (for example, Z or Y) by using transaction SE38.

    1. In the SAP GUI, enter transaction code SE38.

    2. In the Program field, enter a name of your program for example, ZDEMO_PUBSUB.

    3. Click Create.

    4. Specify the program attributes:

      1. In the Title field, enter a title of your program, for example, Publish messages to a Pub/Sub topic.

      2. In the Type field, choose Executable Program.

      3. Click Save.

    5. Save the program as a Local Object.

    6. In the ABAP Editor, add the following code:

MESSAGE lo_exception->get_text( ) TYPE 'E'. ENDTRY. 

      Replace DEMO_PUBSUB with the client key name.

  2. Run your application in SE38.

  3. To validate the results, follow these steps:

    1. In the Google Cloud console, go to Pub/Sub.

    2. Select the subscription SAMPLE_SUB_TOPIC_01 and go to the Messages tab.

    3. Use the PULL feature to check whether the "Hello World!" message has been published to the topic.
