An event listener is a widget that is adds to our BPD.
It basically tells our process to do something if an event occurs.

When the UCA reaches its end point. It will cause a new Business process to start.
The output of the UCA should be used to set the starting values of variables within the business process.
There is no concept of co-relation in start message event because it is creating a new BPD instance and such there is no data to compare it to.
What is Intermediate message Event Listener?
Intermediate message Event takes place in running Business process.
They tell the Business process to move a token forward in the process.
An Intermediate listener move forward only if event output data matches with the co-relation data in the business process.
