Events

The LiveCycle ES server provides an event framework that enables business events to be defined. Events provide processes with a mechanism for interacting with the event framework. Processes can receive notifications about events when they occur during process execution. Processes can also throw events to provide notifications about their occurrence in the process.

You can use events to catch errors that occur on the server upon process execution, handle situational errors, and to insert time-based execution constraints on operations. Events can also be used to pass information from process to process.

Events are represented on process diagrams as icons. Routes can be drawn from events to other elements on the process diagram so that the occurrence of the event alters the progression of the process. After you add an event to a process diagram, you can configure filters so that the event is triggered when certain conditions are met.

You access events in the Events view.
