As part of its integration with EDA, the Task Engine emits specific predefined events for each task instance. The ability to emit these events can be enabled and disabled on a per-task type basis. For more information, see Enabling and Disabling EDA Event Emission for a Task Type.

Each EDA event represents a change to the status of the task instance, and it also contains standard information about the task. The content of each EDA event is defined by the event type XSD schema files installed with the Task Engine. For specific information, see EDA Task Event Element Definitions.

The Task Engine emits the Task Changed predefined task event type when a task instance is created, updated, or deleted, as shown in the following table.

For information about task instances and task statuses, see Task Status and Life Cycle.
