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:
IBM Relationship Resolution Event Manager must be enabled for your
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.
Procedure:
- In the Configuration Console, click the Setup button.
- Click the Sources button.
- Click the Event Type button.
- Click the New button.
- Required: On the General tab,
specify the name and description of the event type, the unit of measure associated
with this event type, and the status of this event type (active or inactive).
- Optional: You can also specify additional
information, such as category, sub-category, and notes about this event type.
- Click the Save button.
