Creating a Business Event — End-to-End Walkthrough¶
This section walks through the full Create Business Event wizard, from opening it on the Business Events tab to landing on the summary view of your newly created (DRAFT) event version.
Use this page as the entry point, then follow the step-by-step child pages for the details of each wizard screen.
✅ Before you start¶
- The Profile must have a Template with at least one Frame Type you want to populate.
- The API Collection (or Kafka topic / MQTT queue / Webhook) exposing the operations you want to intercept must already be configured on the Profile.
🗂️ Entry point — Business Events tab¶
From the Profile's Business Events tab, click Create Business Event to launch the wizard.
🧭 Wizard steps¶
The wizard has 6 steps. Each one is documented in its own page:
| Step | Name | What you configure |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Event Identity | Name, description, and interception mode (INBOUND, OUTBOUND, INBOUND_OUTBOUND) |
| 2 | Source Type | The transport mechanism — REST API, Kafka Topic, MQTT Queue, or Webhook |
| 3 | Select Target Frame | The Frame Type from the Template that this event will populate |
| 4 | Select Operations | The specific API operations to intercept (browse, search, IntelliSense-assisted selection) |
| 5 | Configure Operations | Filters and correlation source per selected operation |
| 6 | Configure Mapping | Field mappings, BMEL expressions, and final creation |

🏁 Result¶
Once you click Create on the last step, the wizard closes and you land on the summary view of the new Business Event version — created in DRAFT status.
From here, the version follows the normal lifecycle: Submit for review, Approve/Reject, and eventually Publish.
