General

• Name

  The name of the trigger.

• Label

  Trigger description. The label can be updated at any time while updating or duplicating a trigger.

• Enabled

  The enabled option is selected by default. If this option is unselected the trigger is disabled. A disabled trigger is ignored when an event is received by Dollar Universe and the associated task is not launched.

Event

• Source

  Select the event source from the drop-down menu.

  • Custom: If this option is selected, the trigger will launch a job based on an external event. The user can specify its own event type (i.e. mail notification, systems event…) and the external system must refer to this event type in the script to launch the Dollar Universe trigger.
  • SAP Jobs: If this option is selected, the trigger will launch a job based on a SAP Job and its properties. In order to use this option, the Dollar Universe Manager for SAP Solutions must be activated.

• Type

  Enter the name of the event type on the external system. If the SAP Job option is selected, the event type is _SAPJOB.

An event cannot be processed during an online purge. If an event is received, it is placed on hold and it is processed once the purge has completed.

Event Properties

This section is displayed if the option Custom Event was selected in the Source section. An event property is a specification about the incoming event from an external system. The properties are entered as variables with associated values (file name, file size, server…).

Click Add to add a property.

To update a property, select it from the list and click Update.

To remove a property, select it from the list click Delete. The property will be removed after confirmation.

  Only the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and _are permitted in event property names. The name cannot start with a number.

Action

• Task

  Select the task associated to the trigger. When an event notification is received from an external system that matches the event details in a trigger, the task associated with the trigger is launched.

  Only provoked tasks can be associated with triggers. If a simulated task is triggered, the created job is disabled. If a disabled task is triggered, no job is run.

• Transmit the properties to the launched task

  If this option is selected, the properties and the event type are transmitted to the task when the trigger is launched via inheritance variables. The variable names refer to the event properties specified when the trigger is created. (Example: File_size: 2KB) The variables and variable values are displayed in the job log of the launched task.

  For SAP job type events, the possible job properties are: SAPJOB_NAME, SAPJOB_STATUS, SAPJOB_GROUP, SAP_JOBUSER, SAPJOB_JOBCOUNT. The property SAPJOB_GROUP is not transmitted. However the property SAPJOB_JOBCOUNT is transmitted.
