Understanding Ports and Channels

Events are generated as a result of activity in an application system. You can use an event to trigger an action in your own application.

To consume events, you must configure an iWay listener to capture the event within the application system (for example, Connect:Direct) and transmit the event notification to your own application.

After you create a connection to an application system, you can add events using the Events node in iWay Explorer. To add an event, you must create a port and a channel.
