Definitions of Events

Events are defined by:

• Object Type. The type of object to which the event occurs, such as an application, business component, or applet.
• Object Name. The name of the application, business component, or applet to which the event occurs.
• Event. The specific event that happens to the object. The set of available events is different for different object types.
  • Application event. Table 14 lists available events.

    Table 14. Application Events

    Application Events	Description

    WebTimeout	A Web session times out. The following example was traced by setting the component parameter Application Personal Log = <FILENAME> and lists the events that occur when a Web session times out. Object type: Application Object name: Siebel eCustomer Event: TIMEOUT Sub-event: Object type: Application Object name: Siebel eCustomer Event: Logout Sub-event: TIMEOUT Object type: Application Object name: Siebel eCustomer Event: WebSessionEnd Sub-event: Object type: Application Object name: Siebel eCustomer Event: WebTimeout Sub-event:

    Table 17. Subevent Information

    When the object type is...	Then...
    BusComp or Applet and the event is InvokeMethod or PreInvokeMethod	The subevent is the name of the method to monitor. The method name is found in Siebel Tools, in the Invoke Method property of the control that calls the method.

• Conditional Expression. Adds additional control. If the conditional expression evaluates to TRUE, the action is triggered when the event occurs.
• Action Set. What actions are taken when the event occurs. Action sets are defined in the Action Sets view under Administration - Runtime Events.

  Most actions set or modify user profile attributes. These set expressions store information that is later used to tailor content delivery.

• Sequence. The order in which the action set associated with this event in this record executes, relative to other action sets associated with this event.
