The Event Broker Service enables applications to send
and deliver events to the appropriate handling agents for processing.
A handler can be either of the following:
-
a statically defined process flow
that runs in its own thread within the Event Broker Service to process
the event. You can use the Foundation Services Manager plug-in to
SAS Management Console to define the event and the process flow configuration.
-
an application that has registered
itself at run time with the Event Broker Service so that it can receive
event notifications.
An Event Broker Service
can also format a response to the processing of an event and send
it as a reply to the event originator. It is the responsibility of
the requester to specify the type of response that is desired:
none (fire-and-forget),
acknowledgement (acknowledge that the event was received), or
result (send a formatted response).
An event is specified
as a well-formed XML fragment that contains the name of the event,
any associated properties, and a body.
