Evaluating Process Events

For an action to be selected in response to a process event, the value of the ACTION_PROCESS column in the action table must match the process event type. The eligible action event names are SELECT, MATCH, PREREQ, SUBREQ, MPREREQ, MSUBREQ, XPREREQ, and XSUBREQ. If the value of the ACTION_PROCESS column matches one of these reserved names for one or more actions, then the action assigned the highest score is executed. The scoring of process events is similar to that of state change events except that the action tables of process events contain an ACTION_CURRENT column.

Following is a list of the action table columns for process events and their corresponding weights:
