Create a new event log

Use the New Event Log dialog box to create a new event log.

NOTE  When creating a new event log, the workflow author, workflow administrator, and application developer typically work together to determine its properties and usage.

To create a new event log

  1. Select the Event Logs folder and click New on the toolbar.
  2. 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. Process Engine dynamically determines the physical table and index names, to prevent collisions with existing table and index names.

  3. 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.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Select 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. See Event Log Properties for instructions.
  6. Click OK when done.
  7. Click Commit Changes on the toolbar to apply this change to your isolated region. See Commit changes for additional information.
