Hello,

The recommended way to define custom EventTypes is to use NodeSet files generated by modeling tools such as UaModeler. You can then import the information model in the NodeSet file to the Server and create Events based on the EventTypes defined in the model by using createEvent methods of the NodeManagerUaNode corresponding to the imported Namespace that contains the EventType.

Alternatively you can define the custom EventType in code. See SampleConsoleServer’s MyNodeManager’s createMyEventType and sendEvent methods for an example of defining and using custom EventType “MyEventType”. See createAlarmNode method of the same class for an example of using HasNotifier, HasCondition and HasEventSource ReferenceTypes to create Event hierarchies.

Hello,

Can you describe in more detail what you’re attempting to do and how you’re attempting to do it in your Server?

If you trigger an Event with the triggerEvent methods of BaseEventTypeNode class, then the Event is always triggered for the Server Object in addition to the Source Node specified in the Event. For example, if you modify the sendEvent method of MyNodeManager class of SampleConsoleServer to use MyDevice as the Source Node of the Event, you would be able to receive the same Event by monitoring either the Server Object or MyDevice for Events.

I confirmed that this is working as excepted in both UaExpert and Prosys OPC UA Browser, so I would need to know exectly what you’re doing for it to not work as expected.
