Defining event handlers

You can define event handlers that determine the types of actions that are performed when an event in a transaction occurs. You can provide conditions that apply to the event handler.

About this task

Note: Event handlers defined for a transaction in a particular pipeline are also applicable if the same transaction is used in another pipeline.
Note: When associating a condition with an event, refer to the IBM Sterling Order Management: Javadoc to ensure that the applicable condition variables coincide with the event's key data and data published.
