Java enum can be used as an CDI "command" event:

public enum OrderEvent {
    CREATE, CANCEL;
}

Now you can sent enum instances:

public class OrderProcessor {

    @Inject
    Event<OrderEvent> events;

    public void createOrder() {
        events.fire(OrderEvent.CREATE);
    }

    public void cancelOrder() {
        events.fire(OrderEvent.CANCEL);
    }
}

...and consume them:

public class OrderMetrics {

    //...

    public void onSuccess(@Observes(during = TransactionPhase.AFTER_SUCCESS) OrderEvent event) {
        switch (event) {
            case CREATE:
                //...
                break;
            case CANCEL:
                //...
                break;
        }
    }
    public void onFailure(@Observes(during = TransactionPhase.AFTER_FAILURE) OrderEvent event) {
        switch (event) {
            case CREATE:
                //...
                break;
            case CANCEL:
                //...
                break;
        }
    }
}
