Concerning remote eventing:
Looks like there is an alternative to RFC-calling SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT
& SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT_EXTENDED:
It is possible to enter remote RFC destination in 'Destination of Receiver'
field in event type linkage (SWE2).
This way might be potentially less coding but more configuration.
I didn't try this in production, so I can't recommend it, but I think it is
worth considering.

Best regards,
Egor
