Opening existing event definitions
In the event definition editor, you can open any existing event definition that was created using the New Event Definition wizard or that was generated using the event definition generator. However, if you open an event definition that was generated, a window will warn you that your updates will be overwritten the next time that the event definition is regenerated.
You can open an existing event definition from the Business Integration perspective or from the Business Monitoring perspective (if the IBM Business Monitor development toolkit is installed).
To open an existing event definition:
Procedure
- If you working in the Business Integration perspective:
- In the Business Integration view, expand the module or library that contains the Events folder.
- Expand the Events folder and double-click the event definition that you want to open. The event definition opens in the event definition editor.
- If you are working in the Business Monitoring perspective:
- In the Project Explorer view, expand the module or business monitoring project that contains the Event Definitions folder.
- Expand the Event Definitions folder and double-click the event definition that you want to open. If the Open Event Definition window is displayed (as a result of the underlying event definition file containing more than one event definition), select the event definition that you want to open in the Available Event Definitions list and click OK. The event definition opens in the event definition editor.
What to do next
After opening an existing event definition in the event definition editor, you will probably want to edit the event definition. Information about using the event definition editor to edit event definitions is found in the topic "Editing event definitions."
