Event - Execution

Type-Specific Features

When you run an eventAction that is triggered if particular conditions apply. It can be an Automation Engine object type or an entry in a Policy Orchestrator EventBase., the system distinguishes event recognition and event handling.

Event recognition

After activation and start, the event is in the condition SLEEPING. The system now permanently monitors whether an event occurs as previously specified. event recognition distinguishes real events and polling events.

Events can have values which means that a particular value is monitored. The event is triggered as soon as this value exceeds a defined limit.  Events without values have no values to be monitored. The occurrence of a defined condition represents the event.

Event handling

Event handling is the processing of the !Process tab.

The post scriptA particular Automation Engine object type. of an event is not processed at its activation time. It is processed when the defined condition occurs. Active Event objects consider modifications made in !Process. As there is no UserInterfaceThis is the Automation Engine's graphical user interface. [Formerly called the "Rich Client", "RichGUI" and "Dialog Client."] available at that time, the same limitations apply as for events that have been generated at runtime.

Stop execution

A running Event objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task can be stopped and restarted at any time.

Handling

Right-click the object in the Activity Window.

Select Stop / Go in the context menu.

End status

A normally ended event ends on status ENDED_OK, a canceled object ends on status ENDED_CANCEL.

A FileSystem event which ends because of its runtime settingswithout the conditions having occurred, it obtains the status ENDED_TIMEOUT.
