Retrieves the effective
date from the event
object.
Syntax
public Date getEffectiveDate();
Return values
A Date object containing the event's effective date, which
is the date on which the event becomes active and should be processed.
Exceptions
AttributeNullValueException
Thrown if the event's effective date is null.
Notes
An effective date is useful when your event detection mechanism
handles future-event processing; that is, it stores events
that must be processed at some particular point in the future. The
effective date indicates when the event should be processed.
