Run Your Workload › Trigger your Event Manually

Trigger your Event Manually

When triggering an Event manually, you can add a new scheduled Event. In this tutorial, instead of waiting until 4 p.m., you will learn how to add an Event to run the Application now as well as at 4 p.m. today. You will manually trigger the Event without affecting what is already scheduled.

To trigger an Event manually

1. Verify that that your Application is open in the Define perspective.
2. Right-click the Event in the Applications Events view, and select Trigger from the pop-up menu.

   The Trigger Event dialog opens.

3. Leave the Schedule criteria field blank.

   The Event will be triggered immediately.

4. Leave the Add new scheduled Event option button as selected.

   The Event will run now in addition to its 4 p.m. schedule.

5. Select the Submit Application on hold check box.

   The Application will not run until it is manually released. In this tutorial, you are holding the Application before its jobs start to run so that you can view the different job states when you monitor the workload.

6. Click OK to trigger the Event.

Note: You can also list and control Events from the Events view in the Services perspective. For more information on listing and controlling Events from the Services perspective, see the Services Perspective Help.

Next, you will learn how to view your Application as it is running.
