Event Output
apama.analyticskit.blocks.cumulocity.CreateEvent
Creates a new Event object for the associated device or the triggering device.
This block sends a new event to the current device or the device specified. The text of the event is determined by the Text Input input port or by the Message parameter. You must not set both. If neither are set, the model name is used as the text.
This block produces synchronous output. The parameters that define the output stream of the block are "Device or Trigger Device" and "Event Type". Using another instance of this block with the same output stream is not allowed.
