Cross-system method call

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Kjetil,
Unless I'm also missing something, I believe the LOGSYS is simply the
'Local' part of the Local Persistent Object Reference. It qualifies the
object name. A ZPROMOTION object might be a different thing on a IS-Retail
and a CRM box.

In a different context, you may have an object existing in multiple
systems. I've worked in one environment with multiple companies/systems,
some minor nightmares came about trying to fathom through delegations and
subtypes when you had ZSYS1B2012, ZSYS2B2012 and so on, up to 5 subtypes
scattered around.

Persistent objects are not possible with BOR - probably due to the virtual
attribute thing. Classes on the other hand can be made persistent and sent
about... probably no coincidence that they cannot have virtual attributes.
So this is one possibility. Another might be to send stuff over vie
WF-XML, but I have a sneaky suspicion that'll be more effort and overhead
than just writing a RFC FM to return all the data you need in a nice and
simple table.

Cheers,
Mike
