Searching for Events

The Rights Management service tracks specific actions as they occur, such as applying a policy to a document, opening a policy-protected document, and revoking access to documents. Events fall into one of the following categories:

•	Administrator events are actions related to an administrator, such as creating a new administrator account.

•	Document events are actions related to a document, such as closing a policy-protected document.

•	Policy events are actions related to a policy, such as creating a new policy.

•	Service events are actions related to the Rights Management service, such as synchronizing with the user directory.

You can search for specify specific events by using the Rights Management Java API or web service API. By searching for events, you can perform tasks, such as creating a log file of certain events.

Note: For more information about the Rights Management service, see LiveCycle ES Services.

Summary of steps

To search for a Rights Management event, perform the following steps:

1.	Include project files.

2.	Create a Rights Management Client API object.

3.	Specify the event for which to search.

4.	Search for the event.

Include project files

Include necessary files into your development project. If you are creating a client application using Java, then include the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services, then make sure that you include the proxy files.

Create a Rights Management Client API object

Before you can programmatically perform a Rights Management service operation, you must create a Rights Management service client object. If you are using the Java API, create a RightsManagementClient object. If you are using the Rights Management web service API, create a RightsManagementServiceService object.

Specify the events to search for

You must specify the event to search for. For example, you can search for the policy create event, which occurs when a new policy is created.

Search for the event

After you specify the event to search for, you can use either the Rights Management Java API or the Rights Management web service API to search for the event.
