Using Process Control Creating New Events

Creating New Events
Introduction You can specify that the event runs as timed or as polled. If the event is running as
“timed,” you must specify a time, a pre-defined calendar and/or days of the week
to run, or a date to run one time only. When it is time for the event to be run, the
Gentran Scheduler service initiates the processing of the event.
If the event is running as “polled,” you can specify a file name and whether the
event should run if the file exists or not. The Gentran Poller service polls the
process controller.
◗ If you specified that the file must exist, the Gentran Poller initiates the
processing of the event when the file appears.
◗ If you specified that the file must not exist, the Gentran Poller initiates the
processing of the event when the file no longer exists on the controller.
