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.

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. You can enter up to 100 parameters.

4. In the Event Data region, you can optionally enter an XML document to describe what occurred in the event. You can enter up to 4000 characters.

• To enter the event data manually, select the Write XML option and enter the XML document in the XML Content field.

• 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 choose the View link to view the XML file if you have already specified one, or choose the Clear button to remove the previously specified file and enter a different file.

Note: You can also assign generate functions 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.
