What configuration events are

Configuration events are notifications about the attributes of an object. They are generated when an object is created, changed, or deleted and are also generated by explicit requests. There are four types of configuration events:

• Create object events

• Change object events

• Delete object events

• Refresh object events

The event data contains the following information:

1. Origin information, describes the queue manager from where the change was made, the ID of the user that made the change, and how the change came about, for example by a console command.

2. Context information, is a replica of the context information in the message data from the command message.
   Note:

   Context information will only be included in the event data if the command was entered as a message on the SYSTEM.COMMAND.INPUT queue.

3. Object identity, describes the name, type and disposition of the object.

4. Object attributes, describes the values of all the attributes in the object.

In the case of change object events, two messages are generated, one with the information before the change, the other with the information after.

Every configuration event message that is generated is placed on the queue SYSTEM.ADMIN.CONFIG.EVENT.

For more information about the event data returned in configuration event messages see: Event message reference.
