Configuring event types
You configure event types to define and categorize events that
are processed by Event Manager. Before you can configure event types, you
must first install v.4.2 Fix Pack 1, and then run the post-installation SQL
scripts. However, before the system processes incoming data containing event
types, you must enable event processing in the Event Manager
system parameters, configure the business rules in the Eclipse-based complex
event processor tool, and format the incoming event data using the UMF EVENT
data segment definitions.
- Event types
Event types categorize events and define the unit of measure for
the value associated with events in IBM Relationship Resolution Event Manager.
Examples of event types include wire transfer, account opening, or credit
card transaction.
- Creating event types
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.
- Editing event types
Edit an event type when you want to change the description, the
unit of measure, or the additional information associated with the event type.
You can also edit an event type to inactivate it, so that it can no longer
be used. You cannot edit the event type name.
- Deleting event types
You may want to delete an event type when it is no longer used
for event processing. If you want to keep the event type, but simply inactivate
it, you can edit the event type status instead of deleting it.
