Understanding Event Functionality

How to:

Events are generated as a result of activity in an application system. You can use the application to trigger an event. For example, you can use it to trigger an update, insert, or delete an event.

After you create a connection to your application system, you can receive events using iWay Service Manager. To receive an event, you must fist create a channel. The events will be received using a TCP or HTTP listener.
