When you want to add a new event scenario to process events,
you may need to create a new event type to define the types of transactions
or activities that are included in that event scenario, as well as
the unit of measure associated with this category of event.
Before you begin
Event Manager must be enabled for your IBM InfoSphere Identity
Insight system.
About this task
Event types are called by the complex event processor, while
it processes events according to the user-defined business rules.
Before an event type is used, you must also create at least one business
rule that uses that event type.
