Monitoring Events

The execution of an Event object usually triggers the execution of other objects. Those objects may in turn trigger the execution of other tasks. To make sure that you can easily track these chains of related tasks, they are displayed as parent/children in the Process Monitoring perspective. The Event task is the parent. This means that there is no specific view for monitoring Event tasks other than the list of Tasks in the Process Monitoring perspective.

The tasks that have been triggered by the Event object are flagged with a special tag type, namely !EVNT. If those !EVNT tasks trigger the execution of other tasks, they are considered children of the !EVNT task and displayed accordingly. You can see the chain of tasks that have been executed by an Event object (in the Process Assembly perspective) or by an Event task (in the Process Monitoring perspective) in its Executions list.

For information about the troubleshooting and monitoring options for Event tasks, see Troubleshooting, Root-Cause Analysis and Remediation.

To Check the Chain of Tasks Executed by an Event Object

In the Event Executions list, click the arrow to expand the list of tasks that have been triggered by each execution of the Event. Their Type is !EVNT.
Right-click the parent task (the Event) and do the following:
- Select Child Task Executions to open the list of executed tasks that were triggered by it.
- Select Activator Executions to check what activated the Event task.

To Stop Active Events

You have the following options:

Cancel the Event. Its status changes to Abend/manually canceled.
Quit the Event. Its status changes to Ended_OK.
Suspend the Event. The Event remains active but temporarily disabled.
