Lately the upgrades are changing the Event Designer settings. Kinda overrites my custom settings. I have noted my custom changes and after the upgrade I do go back and make the changes.

I have a couple questions about the Event Designer…

1) Is it an actual row in a table?

2) I gotta ask this one even though it might be a little silly. I know I can add an event. My question is, Is it possible to customize the event parameters? And if so, how can the actual event know how to pass the custom values (unless I use Send Event)?

Richard,

1) Is it an actual row in a table?

Yes it is, EVENTDESIGNER is the name of the window. However, I suspect you want to know the name of the record that EVENTDESIGNER uses. In this case it is CFG_EVENTS which is stored in SYSENV.

2) I gotta ask this one even though it might be a little silly. I know I can add an event. My question is, Is it possible to customize the event parameters? And if so, how can the actual event know how to pass the custom values (unless I use Send Event)?

Do you want to customize your own event parameters or pre-built event parameters? Obviously you can do this with your own event. You can do this with pre-built event as well but you'll have two problems: 1.) as you noted, the only way to populate those parameters is to do it yourself with Send_Event/Post_Event, and 2.) you might get a "too many parameters passed…" error when your event attempts to chain into a system procedure engineered specifically for this event.
