Maintenance of Event Creator 

Use

Use an event creator if you want to publish an event from a workflow. This event can be used as follows:

For this, the event must be entered as a triggering event for the relevant workflow or task.

To react to an event in a workflow, you use a wait step.

In the workflow definition an event creator is represented with the symbol .

Features

At runtime the system creates an event in accordance with your specifications. The system caters automatically for the workflow system variables in the event container as well.

If the event container contains other, non-standard elements, you must define a binding from the workflow container to the event container.

Activities

You give a name to the step and to the outcome. The other fields are as follows:

This container element of the workflow container must contain an object reference. The referenced object is the object to which the event refers.

If the event is created at runtime, the system writes this object reference into the container element _Evt_Object in the event container.

This system automatically puts the type of the object referenced in the container element into this field.

This event is created by the system at execution time of the workflow. The event must be defined for the object type in the Business Object Repository.
