This operation sends a 'republish' event to an event queue. This allows events to be generated on demand.
For example, events are required for an external system to initially publish an entire hierarchy. This can be achieved by running a business action with this operation on the hierarchy. The generated events are sent to the specified queue.
This operation can also be run via a Bulk Update and sample data is provided in the Send Republish Event Operation topic in the Bulk Updates documentation here.
Prerequisites
Before using this operation:
- Ensure the event queue is enabled and set to Read Events as defined in the Maintaining Event Queues topic here.
- Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule, Function, or Library topic here.
Configuration
- On the Edit Operation dialog, select the Send Republish Event option from the dropdown.
- For the Receiving Processor parameter, click the ellipsis button (
) to display the Select Processor for Events dialog, choose an OIEP or Event Processor that has an event queue, or choose an actual event queue object. Click the Select button.
This can be an event processor, outbound integration endpoint with an event queue, or an event queue directly.
- Click the Save button to add the operation to the business rule editor.
