Defining TIME Event Objects

In Time events, the status changes to "Active" in the defined intervals and then the event is triggered.

Section Description

Event Process Activation

 

You define event monitoring parameters in this section.

ClosedTo Define when to Activate the Event Processing

  1. In Frequency you have the following options to determine how often the event object should be activated:

    • Once

      It is activated only once.

    • Repeatedly

      It is activated periodically, depending on the setting you define below.

  2. Indicate now when the Event object should be activated. The options available here depend on the frequency you have selected:

    Frequency When
    Once

    Immediately - it is activated as soon as it is started.

    After - enter the number of minutes after starting that you want the event to wait before activating it.

    At - define a specific time. If you choose this option you can indicate when the event should be activated in case it is started after this time:

    • Immediately
    • Wait for the next valid date - it becomes active with the next valid date considering the calendar and time conditions you specify below
    Repeatedly

    Specify when the event should be activated. The options are:

    • In intervals of ... minutes to define a periodicity.

    • At to define a specific time.

    In either case, in First Activation you must then define when the Event object becomes active for the first time, the options being:

    • Immediately
    • After the first interval, that is after the expiration of the first time interval.

Time and Date Conditions

 

 

 

These conditions are always checked and an event will only be triggered if at least one of them is met or if no condition has been defined here. The current date and time are used as reference. The Time Zone assigned to the event is considered as well. This means that activating an event and specifying a logical time does not make sense.

Time specifications are checked for full minutes, i.e. the ending time 23:59 hours lasts until 23:59:59. Hence, the event can also be triggered in the last 59 seconds.
