Create Event Definition Dialog

1.14 Create Event Definition Dialog

Use to create a business event definition. You can publish and subscribe to business events in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) application. Business events consist of message data sent as the result of an occurrence in a business environment. For example, in a loan flow scenario, a BPEL process executing a loan process can raise a loan-completed business event at the completion of the process. When a business event is published, other components can subscribe to it. More

When event definition creation is complete, the Events Editor appears. This editor enables you to add a business event payload to the business event. Business event definition details are saved in the event_definition_name.edl file.

Element	Description
Name	Enter a name or accept the default name of `EventDefinitionnumber`. The name you enter here becomes the EDL file name in the Applications window. Note: Do not enter a forward slash (/) as the event name. This creates an event definition file consisting of only an extension for a name (`.edl`).

Namespace	Displays the namespace for the business event. Subscriptions can be based on only the namespace.
Events	Displays the business events available for selection. The rows in the table can be sorted by clicking a header. The header has a small arrow icon that shows which column has been sorted on and the direction of the sort.
Add icon	Click to add a business event. When complete, the business event displays in the Events table.
Edit icon	Click to edit a selected business event.
Delete icon	Click to delete a selected business event.
