1. Navigate to the Create Event page or to the Update Event page. The Create Event page and the Update Event page are identical, except that the fields in the Update Event page are populated with previously defined information for the selected event.

Note: For seeded events with a customization level of Limit, you can only update the event status. For seeded events with a customization level of Core, you cannot update any properties; you can only view the event definition.

Note: Your Oracle Applications installation may include seeded events owned by Oracle Applications products that you have not licensed. For such events, the Update Event page displays a notice that the event is not licensed. Oracle Workflow will not execute any subscriptions to these events.

2. Enter the internal name of the event in the Name field. The internal name is case-sensitive. The suggested format is a compound structure of identifiers separated by periods (.) as follows:

	<company>.<family>.<product>.<component>.<object>.<event>

3. Enter a display name for the event.

4. Enter an optional description for the event.

5. Select Enabled or Disabled as the event status. If you disable an event, its definition remains in the Event Manager for reference, but you cannot use the event in active subscriptions.

6. If you are defining an event that occurs on your local system, enter a generate function for the event. A generate function is a PL/SQL procedure or Java API that can produce the complete event data from the event name, event key, and an optional parameter list. Define only one generate function for an event, either PL/SQL or Java. See: Standard API for an Event Data Generate Function.

• To assign the event a PL/SQL generate function, enter the PL/SQL procedure in the Generate Function field in the following format:

		<package_name>.<function_name>

• To assign the event a Java generate function, enter the Java API in the Java Generate Function field in the following format:

		<customPackage>.<customClass>

7. Identify the program or application that owns the event by entering the program name in the Owner Name field and the program ID in the Owner Tag field.

8. Review the customization level for the event.

• Core - No changes can be made to the event definition. This level is used only for events seeded by Oracle Applications.

• Limit - The event status can be updated to Enabled or Disabled, but no other changes can be made to the event definition. This level is used only for events seeded by Oracle Applications.

• User - Any property in the event definition can be updated. This level is automatically set for events that you define.
