• Key Concepts: 
  A server event is a type of event that is triggered by the server in the BC-WD Web Dynpro component of SAP. It is used to notify the client of a change in the server state, such as when a new record is added or when an existing record is modified. Server events are sent to the client via an asynchronous call, meaning that the client does not need to wait for a response from the server before continuing with its work.
  
  How to use it: 
  Server events can be used to update the client's view of the data without requiring a full page refresh. This can improve performance and reduce network traffic. To use server events, you must first define an event handler in your application code. This handler will be called whenever a server event is triggered. The handler can then take any necessary action, such as updating the view or sending a notification to the user.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using server events, it is important to ensure that your application code is thread-safe. This means that multiple threads should not be able to access and modify shared data at the same time, as this could lead to unexpected results. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your event handler code is efficient and does not take too long to execute, as this could cause delays in responding to server events.
