Workflow Subscription Workflow Tab Settings
The vRealize Orchestrator workflow that you select runs when the subscription conditions are
evaluated as true.

Workflow Subscription Details Tab Settings
The subscription details determine how the subscription is processed.
Workflow Subscription Event Topic Tab Settings
Event topics are classes of events provided in vRealize Automation. You select the event topic on which
to define the subscription.
This page is informational. You are not required to provide any values.
To select an event topic for your workflow subscriptions, select Administration > Events >
Subscriptions. Click New and select an event topic.
Table 4‑4. Event Topic Options
Option Description
Topic ID Event topic identifier.
Name Name of the event topic.
Description Description of the event topic.
Publisher Name of the service for which this event topic is registered.
Blockable Indicates whether you can create a blocking subscription for this
event topic.
Blocking subscriptions are used to change the event's payload
or to synchonously run your custom logic when the results of a
second workflow for the same event depend on the results of
the first workflow.
Replyable Indicates whether an event topic subscription can publish a reply
event to the service that originally produced the event. If the
value is yes, a reply is sent to the service that published the
original event when the workflow finishes. The reply contains the
output of the vRealize Orchestrator workflow and any error
details.
Schema Describes the structure of the event's payload.
You can use the schema to create workflows that can use the
payload information.
Workflow Subscription Conditions Tab Settings
The conditions you configure for the subscription determine if the workflow is triggered to run based on
the event data.
