Administer Triggers

Applications that cannot make SOAP calls can use triggers as an alternative. Use of SOAP calls is recommended over triggers because it is more robust.

Triggers allow external applications to start a process in CA Process Automation. A trigger invokes the CA Process Automation process that is defined in XML content or in an SNMP trap. The XML content can be delivered to the configured file location or to the configured email address. SNMP trap content is sent in an OID matching a configured regular expression. CA Process Automation listens for incoming SNMP traps on the configured SNMP trap port, 162 by default.
