Receiving Events via SQS

WSO2 DAS has many inbuilt event receivers to receive events via different transports. In addition, you can receive events via SQS by implementing an SQS event receiver as explained below.

To configure an SQS event receiver, follow the steps given below:

1. Start the WSO2 DAS server by issuing one of the following commands.

2. Create an SQS event receiver. For detailed instructions to create an event receiver, see Configuring Event Receivers.
