Error when sending event (message CEIEM0025E)
My event source application encounters an error when trying to send an event to the event server. The log file indicates a DuplicateGlobalInstanceIdException.
Cause
This problem indicates that the emitter submitted the event, but the event service rejected it because another event already exists with the same global instance identifier. Each event must have a unique global instance identifier, specified by the globalInstanceId property.
Remedy
To correct this problem, do one of the following:
- Make sure your event source application generates a unique global instance identifier for each event.
- Leave the globalInstanceId property of your submitted events empty. The emitter then automatically generates a unique identifier for each event.
