To Raise a Test Event

1. Navigate to the Test Business Event page.

2. In the Event Identifier region, specify the event you want to raise.

Event Name - Select the internal name of the event. Select the field's search icon to display a list of values from which to choose. See: Using a List of Values.

Note: You cannot raise an event group. You must raise each event individually.

Event Key - Enter an event key that uniquely identifies this instance of the event.

Send Date - Optionally specify the date when the event message is available for dequeuing. If you set the send date to a future date when you raise the event, the event message is placed on the WF_DEFERRED queue, and subscription processing does not begin until the specified date.

3. In the Event Parameters region, optionally enter any additional parameter name and value pairs to be stored in the parameter list within the event message.

To display another blank row and enter another parameter, select the Add Another Row button. You can enter up to 100 parameters.

To delete a parameter, select the parameter and select the Delete button.

4. In the Event Data region, you can optionally enter an XML document to describe what occurred in the event.

To enter the event data manually, select the Write XML option and enter the XML document in the XML Content field. You can enter up to 4000 characters.

To upload an XML file from your file system, select the Upload XML option and select the Upload XML File button. In the Upload XML File page, enter the full path and file name of the XML file containing your event data, and select the Upload File button. You can also select the Cancel button to return to the previous page without uploading the file.

Note: You can also assign a Generate function in the event definition to generate the event data, or raise the event using the WF_EVENT.Raise() API instead of using the Test Business Event page. These methods let you provide the event data as a CLOB storing up to four gigabytes of data. See: To Define an Event and Raise, Oracle Workflow API Reference.

5. Choose the Submit button to raise the event to the Event Manager. You can also choose the Cancel button to return to the previous page without raising the event.
