Event Status

Definition

The status of an event showing whether an external scheduler or another application marked the event as read. The event status is displayed in event history (transaction SM62).

The possible values for the status and the their meaning are outlined in the table below:

Event Statuses

Status	Meaning
New	The event was logged in event history but has not been read by an external scheduler.
Confirmed	The even was read. The external scheduler does not need to read events in this status again.

Events are logged in the event history with status New.

Use

When an external scheduler has read the events in EH, it can change their status to Confirmed. Changing the event status is optional, that is, an event in status New can remain in this status even after information about it has been polled.

External schedulers can use the event status to avoid reading the same entries in EH more than once. Changing the event status is available to external schedulers in the XBP API 3.0.
