Event Subscriptions (tlbct5500m000)
Use this session to view and maintain subscriptions to event publishing services.
To start this session go to Tools > Integration Tools > Event Publishing.
This session shows the subscriptions to event publishing services, which are available in the LN application. These services are referred to as publishers.
The subscriptions are specific to a business object of a particular LN company. All fields are presented in a read-only mode, so you can only view the subscription properties. To edit a subscription, you use the Subscribe (tlbct5220m000) session.
For more information on subscriptions to event publishing services, refer to help topic How to subscribe to an event publishing service.
This session has a details mode and an overview mode.

properties of the selected subscription. For a more detailed description, see the
Subscribe (tlbct5220m000) session.Note: A subscription is identified by the business object and the LN company to which this business object belongs. In a specific LN company, it is therefore not possible to create multiple subscriptions for one business object.

- The Technical Details tab contains the metadata of the Business Interface that provides the event publishing service.
Actions/References/Buttons

You are asked to confirm the removal of the subscription. After confirmation, LN sends a unsubscribe request to the business object and subsequently informs you about the result. Among other things, the result will depend on authorization settings and dependency constraints.
Caution:After the unsubscribe command is carried out, the operation will be permanent. You cannot undo the command. - Check Process
- Check the status of the current event publishing process.
- Pause Process
- Temporarily stops the current publisher. The status of the publisher changes to
'Paused'. This means that all occurring events remain in a queue and are not
processed until the publisher is reactivated.
The command only applies to running publishers.
- Reactivate Process
- Starts the current publisher. The publisher continues at the point where it was
paused (or stopped because of an error). So, it will first process the backlog of
events that are waiting in the queue before processing new events.
The command applies to paused publishers and to publishers with status Error or Interrupted.
