Event-based notification definition
A notification that is generated when an event or an action has occurred on a business object.
An event-based notification definition is useful when the user would like to notify other users about the status change of a business object such as Order, Contract, Person etc. The notifications are created as tasks at the Tasks level.
 | In order to be able to create an event-based notification definition, the selected user-defined business object must have status transitions. |
An event-based notification definition scans tasks and creates jobs which are then performed by the scheduler. The notification definition also defines a schedule that determines how often and when the condition is checked.
For more information on how tasks are created, refer to Task.
There are two ways for creating tasks:
• By using a solution extension - must be created and deployed on the business object on which the event-based notification is set. For more information, see Adding Extensions (Field definer).
• By linking your business object's status transition to your notification definition. For more information, see Creating notifications on status transitions.
