Inbound events from Enterprise Content Management systems

In IBM BPM, you can create event subscriptions and design business processes and services that detect and respond to inbound content events from Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. The content events are used to catch and throw interactions with an ECM system. Business processes can instantiate, continue, or end based on the type of content event, such as the creation, modification, or deletion of a document.

To successfully receive and manage data from inbound content events that originate on Enterprise Content Management (ECM) servers, you need to understand the runtime behavior of the events and you need to perform both modeling and administration tasks, such as creating the components that are required to handle, detect, and respond to the events. Information about the runtime behavior of content events and the required modeling and administrative tasks is found in the following topics:
