Adding a Custom EDA Event Type to a Message Step

You can use a custom EDA event type in start message, intermediate message, or end message steps in a process. At run time, the message step will automatically emit an EDA event based on the Event Type schema XSD file. You need only to specify an EDA event type.

Note:

The Process Engine also generates and emits predefined events for the process model instance and for process model instance steps. For more information, see About EDA Predefined Process Event Types.

Important:

To fully complete the following procedure, you must have an active connection to an Integration Server when you add an EDA event type to a process. If you do not, you are prompted to open a connection, or to work offline, when you add the event type. For more information, see About EDA Event Types and Integration Server Document Types.

1. To add an EDA event type to a message step, do one of the following:

To create a new start message step that uses an EDA event type, drag an EDA event type from the Project Explorer view onto the process canvas.

To add an EDA event to an existing start message, intermediate message, or end message step, drag an EDA event from the Project Explorer view onto the existing step.

Integration Server document type for the event type will be created. If you have only one default Integration Server

In addition, the Receive Document and Receive EDA Event fields are automatically configured for you. The Protocol Properties fields are partially configured, but you must manually specify a Destination Name.

Note:

You can also add an EDA event type by dragging an Integration Server document type that represents an event type from the Package Navigator view.

i. Add the step to the canvas from the Palette and click it to select it.

ii. On the Implementation page in the Properties view, select the EDA (For Event Triggered Processes) Receive Protocol or Send Protocol.

iii. Click the Browse button next to the Receive Document or Send Document field.

iv. Click the Search EDA Event Type Store tab and select the event type you want to work with. You can also click the Browse Integration Server tab and select an IS document type that represents an EDA event type.

v. Verify the Connection Alias in use and specify a Destination Name.

2. Provide any additional configuration to the message step as described in Configuring a Start Event, Configuring an Intermediate Event, and Configuring an End Event.
