- Method Detail
  - startConsumingEvents
```
void startConsumingEvents()
```
    Start the consumption of events from the ACS event source. The implementation of this method should be idempotent, so that several invocations of it does not disturb the normal consumption of events from the source.
    The event gateway microservice invokes this method at the end of the microservice startup process, once the rest of services are up and ready.
