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 runs in a separate transaction in an asynchronous manner. For example, after importing a sales document (inbound connection), you can use the Event Generator activity to release or post the document automatically.

Concept

Actions such as releasing a document or calling a posting routine also trigger various other processes. Including such actions in the same transaction, such as during data import, can significantly hinder system performance. Use the Event Generator activity in these cases.

For smaller tasks such as reopening a document or updating fields, you can use custom connectors instead. These tasks can be part of the same transaction.

For an inbound connection, the Event Generator activity typically follows the Record Generator activity.
