Create event via status management

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Patrick,
Bind _EVT_NAME into a WF element 'TriggeringEvent'.
A slight downside is for manually started flows (e.g. admin restart or
whatever).
Another option is to add an attribute for the status to a ZBUS2032 subtyp=
e
and check that in your flow.
Cheers
Mike
