Creating Triggering Events 

Procedure

You maintain the triggering events on the tab page Triggering events.

  1. Identify the event by specifying its instance ID and object type. The event must be defined for this object type.

    2. If you are looking at a task in display mode, whose original system is not the current system, you can create additional triggering events. This creates an extension of the task definition.

  2. To activate the event receiver linkage, select in the column . Active event linkages are denoted by .
  3. To define the binding from the event container, select the relevant event line and choose . For further information, refer to Binding Definitions from the Event Container.
  4. Select the triggering event and choose . The properties of the event linkage are displayed and can be changed.

Result

The workflow system enters the linkage between the event and the event-receiving task in the relevant linkage table automatically. For further information on linkage transport, refer to Transport and Client Copy.

If an error occurs when a task or workflow is being started with an event, the standard procedure is for the system to deactivate the event linkage to avoid any follow-on errors. At the same time, the system sends an e-mail to the workflow system administrator. But you can change this in event queue administration.
