10 Generating Standard Events
This section describes how to generate standard events and provides an example of a
fictitious subsystem to help subsystem developers design, define, build, and release
event messages:
Tasks 2, 3 and 6 should be used iteratively as you analyze and design your event
messages. You might want to go through these tasks a couple of times to optimize and
complete the design of your events.
For a description of standard events and how to use them, see Section 9, Standard
Events.
For a description of procedure calls that help subsystems and applications format and
generate standard events, see Section 11, Procedure Calls for Standard Events.
To help subsystem and application developers generate standard events, these are
provided:

The DDL definitions for the tokens of the standard events

The EMS templates for the standard events

The callable procedures to encode the standard events, to encode the common-
standard tokens of private events, and to determine if a usage threshold event
should be generated
