Event categories

Categories are form groups of events types that have different behaviors and are used for different purposes. There are three default categories of events:

Asynchronous:
Asynchronous events provide event information in messages. Processes receive messages for asynchronous events that they receive and catch, and provide messages that they throw.

Exception:
Exception events provide notifications about errors that occur on the LiveCycle Server. Processes can receive and catch exception events but cannot throw them.

Timer:
Timer events are notifications about time-based situations. When a process throws a timer event, the throw occurs after a specific amount of time has passed. Similar to asynchronous events, timer events also provide event information in messages.

You can also organize events into groups so that you can more easily manage a set of event types.
