Transaction events are supported in XProtect Enterprise and XProtect Professional. To trigger
transaction events in the surveillance system it is prerequisite that you define generic events in the
surveillance system that match the criteria of the transaction events from XProtect Transact.
When a transaction event is triggered, the transaction event groups containing the event send a TCP
or UDP data package to XProtect Enterprise or XProtect Professional. The data package is then
analyzed by the generic events in the surveillance system. If the transaction event is matching
specified criteria in a generic event, the actions specified in the generic event are triggered.
Example: The source's transaction data contains an occurrence that triggers a transaction event. The
transaction event is member of event groups 2 and 4. Each group sends a TCP or UDP data package
to the surveillance system on which defined generic events triggers one or more actions.

Manage events
Through XProtect Transact's event and event group features you can get XProtect Transact to listen
for occurrences of specific words, numbers, characters etc. in the transaction data and generate
events when the specified occurrences are found. For easy and flexible usage of transaction events,
you can group events in event groups (see "Manage event groups" on page 41).
You define and edit the events on the Events tab in the XProtect Transact Administrator window.
Add an event
To add an event, do the following:
1. Open the XProtect Transact Administrator window.
2. On the Events tab, click the Add New... button. This will open the New Event window.
3. In the Name field, specify a name for the new event.
4. In the Search string field, write the string you would like to search for in the Transaction data.
You can search for words, numbers and special characters that match the string you would
like to find in the Transaction data. You can only search for one string at a time. A string can
consist of several words or similar as long as this exactly matches the Transaction data.
