Events

You can use Events to run the workload defined in your Applications. When an Event is triggered, the Application runs.

Events can be scheduled, triggered manually, or triggered based on a particular condition.

If the Event is scheduled, the Application runs based on the Event's schedule. For example, you can schedule an Event to run an Application daily at 10 a.m. You can also trigger the Event manually if you want to add a new scheduled Event execution to the schedule or replace the Event's next execution.

If the Event is not scheduled, it can be triggered manually or triggered based on a particular condition that an agent monitors. Monitor Events are continuous; the agent continues to monitor after the condition you specify occurs. For example, you can continuously monitor file activity and trigger workload each time a file is created.

An Application may contain multiple Events. For example, an Application may need to run each day at 4 p.m. and also whenever a specific file is created, a JMS message is received, or an SAP event is raised.
