Event Scheduling with Triggers

Schedule triggers can be used as a more efficient alternative to date/time schedules. Triggers cause jobs to be dynamically scheduled based solely on completion of an event. The triggering event can be date/time scheduled, or it too can be automatically triggered by even another event. Schedule triggers have no association with a calendar. Therefore, no calendar related maintenance is ever required. Once defined, triggers are perpetual, remaining in effect until they are either deleted or modified by the user. In addition to relieving the user of annual calendar schedule maintenance, triggers are a far more efficient scheduling mechanism in terms of system overhead. Three types of triggers are available in CA WA CA 7 Edition:

• Job
• Network
• Data Set

With each trigger, you can trigger multiple jobs if you want.
