Event Controlling 

Purpose

In addition to scheduling jobs at particular given times on particular calendar days following particular previous jobs, BW’s background processing system in the Administrator Workbench also supports the event controlled scheduling of jobs. You can trigger processes in BW using event controlled processing.

Process

You can control processes in BW with events that you have determined using Tools ® CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintain events. An event is a signal to background controlling that a particular situation has arisen in the system. Background processing then starts all processes that have been waiting for this event.

You can also activate events created in this way so that they depend on the success of one process to trigger subsequent processes. The subsequent processing function allows you to do this.

In addition to controlling using individual events, you can determine event chains that have to be worked through before a process is triggered.

Events or event chains are only valid in the background processing system. You can only start background jobs with an event.

You can find further information on event processing in Basis documentation under the section The Event Concept and Event Processing.
