Creating Event Types
After you have created an event type project, you can create an event type in the project as follows:
To create an event type in an existing project
1. In the Project Explorer view, select the project where you wish to create the event type.
2. In the context menu, click New > Event Type.
3. In the dialog, the name of the project is displayed. You can change this if you wish by selecting a different project name from the drop-down list.
4. In the field Folder, you can optionally enter the name of a folder where the new event type will be stored.
If you enter a name, the event type will be stored in the given folder under the Event Types folder.
If you do not enter a name, the event type will be stored directly in the Event Types folder.
5. In the field Name, enter the name of the event type.
Important:
Please note that the name of your event type cannot contain the following symbols: dots (.), curly brackets ({ or }), or empty spaces.
6. If you have a connection profile for the Integration Server, the dialog additionally contains the option Use an existing IS document type that allows you to create an event type by importing a document type from the Integration Server. If you select this option, you can browse through the document types in the Integration Server store and select your required document type.
Note:
Please note that any attribute declarations existing in the IS document type will be removed when the Event Type is created.
7. Click Finish.
The new event type is now visible in the Project Explorer view.
The initial contents of the event type are displayed automatically in the Event Type Editor. Instructions on how to add your required structure to the event type using the Event Type Editor are provided in the following sections.
