Managing event codes

When an event occurs within WebSphere Partner Gateway, an event code is generated. Using the Event Codes window, you can see the generated event codes and export them to other applications. Additionally, you can set the alertable status of the event code.

Viewing and editing event codes

The following procedure describes how to view the details of an event code. You can edit the visibility and alertable status of the event code and view its severity.

  1. Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Event Codes.
  2. On the Event Codes window, click the View details icon next to the event code whose details you want to view.
  3. On the Event Code Details window, set the parameters described in Table 2:

    Parameter Description

    Event Code

    A read-only field that shows the unique number for this event code.

    Event Name

    A read-only field that shows the name used to identify the event in relation to the action that triggered the event.

    Internal Description

    A read-only field that describes the circumstances that triggered it.

    Visibility

    Select the users who can view the event code: Community Operator, Manager, participant, or any combination of the three.

    Severity

    A read-only field that shows the seriousness associated with this event code, from Debug (least serious) to Critical (most serious):

    • Debug - for low-level system operations and support. Visibility and use of the debug information are subject to the permission level of the user.
    • Info - for successful system operations. These events also provide the status of documents being processed. Informational events require no user action.
    • Warning - for non-critical anomalies in document processing or system functions that allow the operation to continue.
    • Error - for anomalies in document processing that cause the process to end.
    • Critical - for services that end due to system failure. Critical events require intervention by support personnel.

    Alertable

    Select to display the Event Name in the list on the Define tab of the Alert window. This allows an alert to be set for this event.

Saving event code names

You can choose to save only the event name in the event list (Export Names), or to save the internal descriptions (Export List) in the event list in text format. Follow these steps:

  1. Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Event Codes.
  2. On the Event Codes window, click Export Names to save the list of events with the event names only. Or, click Export List to save the list of events with their internal descriptions only.

Specifying alertable events

When an event occurs within WebSphere Partner Gateway, an event code is generated. Using the Event Codes page, you can set the alertable status of the event code. When an event is set as alertable, the event appears in the Event Name list of the Alert page. You can then set an alert for the event.

To indicate which events should be alertable:

  1. Click Hub Admin > Hub Configuration > Event Codes.

    The Event Codes page is displayed.

  2. For each event you want made alertable:
