Defining publishing events

When you define a publishing event, you define the details of the event, the days in which the event must expire, and the version of the payload metadata to use.
Decide on the actions and assets for which you want to trigger event publishing to an external target.
For example, you might define a publishing event to publish events related to actions such as create, update and delete of the Person business entity records. When a Person business entity record is created, updated, or deleted, these actions trigger the publishing event. You can use the Business 360 Events Connector to access these events in the MDM SaaS data store.

You can publish events in real time or in batches. To publish events in batches, you can define a publish business events job. For more information about defining publish business events jobs, see Defining publish business events jobs.
