Receiving events

Receiving events is about processing input events. An input event that is in scope for a USoft solution is something that happens in the organisation, is relevant to business conduct, and of which a signal is received by the USoft solution. The signal takes the form of an incoming message.

Input events may come from various sources that use different standards. USoft provides REST and SOAP services as an entry point for receiving input events. It also provides a mechanism of programming Java-based services for receiving input events.

When an input event is received, best practice is to place it in a queue table. With synchronous input processing (where a queue table is not strictly necessary), the input event is processed immediately after. With asynchronous input processing, a separate queue processing service must get a signal that the queue table has new data to be processed.
