AMQP Hooks
System Hooks, that allow for messaging triggered by function calls under specified conditions.

Introduction
With an AMQP Hook, messages are sent to a configured messaging system using Advanced Message Queuing Protocol 1.0 (AMPQ). Where and when these messages are sent is defined in the System Hook configuration. Any changes to the System Hook configuration will not apply until the affected services have been restarted.
The AMQP Hooks allow for asynchronous reactions to events like object creation, update or deletion. There are different types of AMQP Hooks available, each of them specialized for selected function calls. The messages contain the object metadata which is the target of the function call triggering the AMQP Hook. The action code is included in the message as well as the history code that is added to the audit trail. The AMQP Hook can be triggered by any endpoint that induced the characteristic history codes of the AMQP Hook.
Types of AMQP Hooks
AMQP Hook Type | Description | Action / History Codes |
|---|---|---|
| Object deletion events can trigger this AMQP Hook with the corresponding object properties in its body. | 200 - OBJECT_DELETED 202 - OBJECT_FLAGGED_FOR_DELETE | |
Object creation events can trigger this AMQP Hook with the corresponding object properties in its body. | 101 - OBJECT_CREATED_WITH_CONTENT | |
Object update events and tag operations can trigger this AMQP Hook with the corresponding object properties in its body. | 300 - OBJECT_METADATA_CHANGED |
Configuring AMQP Hooks
As a type of system hooks, AMQP Hooks are configured in the \service-manager\config\system\systemHookConfiguration.json configuration file within the service manager in JSON format. Any changes to the system hook configuration will not apply until the affected services have been restarted.
