To Define Event Details for an Event Node

The event action defined for the event activity determines which event details you must define for an event node. For each event detail, it is either required or optional to use an item type attribute to store or retrieve the detail information. Note that you must first create item type attributes of the appropriate types before you can reference those predefined item attributes here. The item type attributes you use for event details must be associated with the same item type that the event activity itself is associated with. See: Item Type Attributes and To Define an Item Type or Activity Attribute.

Note: The event activity can only receive events that match the event name specified as the event filter. See: To Create an Event Activity.

Note: You can only raise an individual event. You cannot raise event groups.

Note: The Event Name and Event Key are required for a Raise event activity.

Note: In addition to these event details, you can use the activity attributes for a Raise event activity node to specify parameters that you want to include in the parameter list for the event message. See: To Define Activity Attribute Values.

Also, a Raise event activity automatically sets the item type and item key for the current workflow process in the parameter list for the event message. If the event message is later received by another process, the Workflow Engine uses that item type and item key to automatically set the process that raised the event as the parent for the process that receives the event. See: SetItemParent.

		<agent_name>@<system_name>

		<agent_name>@<system_name>

Note: The Event Message is required for a Send event activity. Additionally, you must either include a To Agent or a From Agent within the event message, or specify a To Agent or an Out Agent in the event details for this node. If you neither specify an inbound agent nor an outbound agent, the event cannot be sent.

Note: If no correlation ID is initially specified in the event message, Oracle Workflow automatically sets the correlation ID to the item key of the process.
