About: EVENTGENERATOR Activity

In Business Integration Solutions, use the EVENTGENERATOR activity to generate a Job Queue event for a message.

Usage

Use this activity to invoke an operation that will run in a separate transaction in an asynchronous manner. For example, after importing a sales document (inbound connection) you would like to Release the document or Post the document automatically, you can use the Event Generator activity.

Concept

Actions such as releasing a document or calling a posting routine also triggers various other processes. Making such actions a part of the same transaction (say while importing data) may hinder the system performance dramatically. Therefore, it is advisable to use Event Generator activity in such cases.

However you can use Custom Connectors for actions such as reopening the document or updating fields. These are small tasks and can be a part of the same transaction.

For an inbound connection the Event Generator activity usually comes after the Record Generator activity.
