Use of the Event Handler List 

Use

The event handler list provides you with comprehensive information about an event handler.

For example, you can display all data for all event handlers with a particular event handler type.

In addition, you can also have the system display the document flow network for an event handler. As a result, you get information about the hierarchy of the business objects belonging to an event handler.

Prerequisites

You have set the Document Flow indicator in Customizing under Event Management ® Event Messages and Status Queries  ® Web Interface  ® Define User Profiles.  As a result, the Web interface automatically displays the link to the relevant document flow network for each event handler displayed in the event handler list.

Features

The information about an event handler can be displayed in various levels of detail.

●     Overview information in the event handler overview

For example, you can display the expected and reported events for an event handler.

You can only have the system display the overview information.

If you have the appropriate authorization, you can, however, change the date and time of expected events.

●     Detailed information in the event handler detail overview

For example, you can display the history of the expected events.

You can only have the system display all the overview information.

If you have the appropriate authorization, you can, however, also make changes.

For example, you can:

○     Lock/unlock event handlers

○     Activate/deactivate event handlers

○     Change the application log settings (for example, the level of detail of logging)

○     Reprocess event messages

During the reprocessing of event messages that is triggered manually, the system processes all the event messages once more. You can choose between the following processing methods:

■      If you choose Simulate, you can use a simulation mode with a graphical interface and the system simulates the reprocessing (for example, activities in the rule set).

For example, if an error occurs, you can trace the reason why the event messages have not triggered the corresponding reactions (activities in rule set) in a step-by-step way.

■      If you choose Reprocessing, the system reprocesses the event messages in the background (genuine reprocessing).

For example, the system was supposed to send an e-mail on the basis of an event message and the action that resulted from it. At this time the mail server was not available. The system did not send the e-mail. You use Reprocess Event Messages to trigger processing manually and the system sends the e-mail again.
