BBjAPI::getEventData

Description

In BBj 17.00 and higher, this method returns a BBjEventData object when used exclusively inside an administrative event handler program. The administration server (part of BBjServices) calls this special type of event handler program when the administrator configures an event handler using the Enterprise Manager or Admin API. Outside an event handler program, this method returns null.

Note:

The code in the event handler program runs on the server, in a background process and does not have access to any UI components or console.

See Event Handlers in the Enterprise Manager for more information about configuring event handlers.
