HP SIM receives a trap when an important event occurs. Events are defined as: Warning. Events of this type indicate a state that might become a problem. Informational. Events of this type require no attention and are provided as useful information. Normal. Events of this type indicate that this event is not a problem. Minor. Events of this type indicate a warning condition that can escalate into a more serious problem. Major. Events of this type indicate an impending failure. Critical. Events of this type indicate a failure and signal the need for immediate attention.

An "event" in genetic engineering is the insertion of a particular piece of foreign DNA into the chromosome of the recipient. Insertion occurs in random locations, so each event is unique. The event can affect how a gene is expressed in the organism. Once an event occurs, the transgene can be passed to the next generation as a normally inherited gene.

Successful transformation of an organism by insertion of exotic genetic material (DNA). Events vary in the genetic package inserted into the organism and the particular place where this genetic package is inserted into the host DNA.

Entities bearing an "event" suffix contain or link data items which describe a particular action or incident taking place at a defined point in time. They should not be confused with events acting on these data in an object oriented information flow model.
