Linking Events

 Data Mapping    Linking Events    Linking Resources    Linking Tasks    XML Templates    XML Elements    XML Functions  

A Solution has one or more Events that define the incoming data sources, protocols and options. This defines the type of service.

Linking Events notify the system that something has occurred. Typically events are connected to tasks that you want to perform when the event occurs. For example, a file is added to a directory that is specified in the event adapter. This action then fires the tasks that are connected to it.

Some Linking Events have an output schema that appears in the Source tree of the tasks it is connected to. This allows the Event to pass data to the task. No input schema is available for Linking Events which means data cannot be mapped to them. The Data Mapping tab is not available in Linking Events.

The Connection Port for an Event Adapter

Linking Events have just one port, an Event Source. This is an outgoing port that triggers subsequent adapters upon its successful completion. Event Source ports must be connected to Event Sink ports. Linking Tasks have both an Event Source and an Event Sink port.
