Many transactions between Creo Parametric and a Windchill server happen asynchronously. This allows you to initiate an operation (such as Check In or Upload) and continue working in Creo Parametric while the operation is processed.

The Event Management utility provides a way for you to check and act on log messages generated in your Creo Parametric or Windchill sessions. It can be accessed from Creo Parametric by clicking the console status icon in the status bar. In addition, by selecting Tools > Console in the Creo Parametric user interface, you can access the console of any server to which you are connected. From a workspace, the Event Management utility is accessed by selecting Event Management from the workspace Pick an Action menu. In Windchill PDMLink and Windchill ProjectLink, you can also access it by selecting Quick Links > Event Management.

The Event Management utility launches automatically in the case of a failed transaction attempt that is initiated from the workspace or PDM system. In the case of a failed transaction that is initiated from the Creo Parametric user interface, an event manager status icon appears in the Creo Parametric status bar.

The Event Management utility is particularly useful when performing transactions with a large number of objects or when working in a multi-server environment, because you can access information specific to a server.

The Event Management utility consists of three interlinked windows that allow you view, get information on, and resolve conflicts arising from PDM transactions. The three pages are the Event Management page, the Event Information page, and the Conflict Management page.
