Use the New Event Log dialog box to create a new event
log.
To create a new event log
Select the Event Logs folder icon
and click New
on the toolbar.
In the Event log name box, enter
the name of the event log. See Naming
conventions for information regarding valid names.
NOTE The
name you enter is a logical name. The Process Engine
dynamically determines the physical table and index names, to prevent
collisions with existing table and index names.
In the Description box, you can
optionally enter a brief description of the event log. You can use the
description to document the purpose of the event log, or to list any
special notes. The description appears in Process Designer.
Click Create.
Select the icon of the new event log and click Properties
on the toolbar.
In the Event Log Properties dialog box, you can further define the event
log by creating system fields,
data fields, and indexes.
Click OK when done.
Click Commit Changes
on the toolbar
to apply these changes to your isolated region. You can commit the changes
immediately, or you can wait until you have finished all your changes.
NOTE The
commit process suspends all other database transactions within the isolated region
until it finishes. We strongly recommend that you accumulate all changes and commit
them once when you're done, or that you commit changes when the isolated region
is relatively inactive. Avoid committing changes after every modification whenever
possible.
NOTEWhen
creating a new event log, the workflow author, workflow administrator,
and application developer typically work together to determine its properties
and usage.
