Consumer Activity

The Event Framework enables the Consumer (internal processes in PMF) to make asynchronous requests to execute activities in a process flow based on the conditions of event occurrences. The messaging service can also be used by external applications to post messages to Topics in Kafka to execute events in individual components or execute the whole process asynchronously. In other words, activities do not have to wait for other activities to be completed (as in a synchronous request) and can be messaged to execute events scheduled for the specific activities.

The Producer and the Consumer of the messages routed through the Kafka messaging server are mapped to the same topic (mapped by Producer ID, Topic ID, and Consumer ID) for the following metadata types:

• Event Type
• Event Sub Type
• Event Source
