| event |
Status change of an object, which is "published" throughout the system. An event is an object type component.
The list of possible events is defined with the relevant object type in the Business Object Builder. This list can be extended according to customer requirements using the delegation concept. The actual creation of the events added must be catered for.
Each event carries information from its creation context in its event container. This information is available to the receiver of the event and can be used for event-driven control and communication mechanisms.
An event may start, terminate or continue tasks and workflows.
