Activating and deactivating event types

To be used in a process, an event type must be active. To prevent an event type from being used for maintenance or other administrative reasons, you can deactivate it. Deactivated event types are indicated with a universal No symbol in the lower-right corner. You can activate or deactivate a single event type or an event group. When you deactivate an event type that is in use in a process, events of that type cannot be thrown or received, and the process can stall.

To use the event types that Rights Management provides, it is necessary to enable the Rights Management event handlers on the LiveCycle Server. They are disabled by default to conserve server resources at run time.
