Understanding Real-Time Event Generation

Events can be one of these:

• Single Event

  Contains one partial event. A single event is useful if the receiver requires that events be generated per system call. You can also use single events with different event types.

• Aggregate Event

  Contains multiple partial events. An aggregate event is useful if the receiver requires a document that contains multiple events. For example, a supply chain solution might want the complete sales order provided as one event that contains multiple partial events.

• Composite Event

  Contains only single events. Composite events are useful if the customer has multiple receivers, some requiring single events and some requiring a complete event similar to an aggregate event.
