- Events
Administrators create Events to control when a scheduled report job can run.
Events are objects that represent occurrences in the system. Depending on the event type, events can be used for various purposes, including the following:
Events act as scheduling dependencies, which trigger specific actions once a scheduled job runs.
Events trigger alert notifications.
Events allow system administrators to monitor the health of the system.
- File events
When you define a file-based event, the Event server monitors for a particular file. When the file appears, the Event server triggers the event.
- Schedule events
When you define a schedule-based event, you select an object (success or failure) as the trigger for your event. In this way, schedule-based events allow you to set up conditions between scheduled objects.
The following table describes the server that handles the Event service.
Event Server
| Server kind | Service | Service Category | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Event Server | Event Service | Core Services | Monitors for file events. |
The Event server only handles File Events. Schedule Events and Custom Events are managed directly by the CMS.
