TCA Business Object Events: Raise Events Program

Question

Hi,
We are integrating two ebiz instances using SOA and both the instances currently are on 11.5.10. We have back ported patches from ebiz 12i into these instances to use TCA Business Objects functionality(Business Object API's and events). I have a few questions realted to the concurrent program "TCA Business Object Events: Raise Events Program":
1) Do I need to schedule this concurrent program to raise business object events?
2) Is there an alternate way to raise these business object events(any profiles)?
Appreciate if someone can answer these questions.
Thanks,
Sak

Hi,
We use AIA and TCA Business Object Events program to integrate from one Ebiz instance to another.
To achieve what you want I would not do anything in SOA.
In out integration TCA ends up putting messages into WF_BPEL_Q.
I would use the following process: (Assuming offline time is a possibility)
1. Retire the parts of AIA that dequeue from WF_BPEL_Q. (depending on how messages are picked up.)
2. Create a PLSQL script that dequeues all messages from WF_BPEL_Q but dosn't process them. Using relevant select statements you can dequeue by message ID and select only relevant messages
3. Run whatever process you need that puts fires the Raise Events Program
4. Run the script to dequeue the messages that does nothing with them.
5. Re-activate the parts of AIA that dequeue from WF_BPEL_Q
This should give you the desired effect. Just be careful you don't screen out messages that do need to be transfered.
