  Key Concepts: 
  Stream type is a component of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP. It is used to define the type of data that is being processed by the system. Stream types can be either synchronous or asynchronous, and they are used to determine how the system will process the data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When creating a new stream type, you will need to specify whether it is synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous streams are used when the data needs to be processed immediately, while asynchronous streams are used when the data can be processed at a later time. You will also need to specify the type of data that will be processed by the stream type. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new stream type, it is important to consider how the data will be processed and how long it will take for the system to process it. This will help you determine whether a synchronous or asynchronous stream type is best for your needs.
