About Event Types



 – Job events are caused by conditions that affect specific jobs. These conditions are often associated 

with the various statuses and changes that jobs go through during their life cycle. See 

 for a 

description of the user interface.



– System events are caused by conditions that affect multiple jobs. Unlike job events that are limited 

in their influence to specific jobs, system events have more global ramifications throughout your system. Examples 
are connection failures and problems with masters, queues and schedule compilations. See 

 for a description of the user interface.



 – Variable events are user-defined variable conditions. A defined event condition will monitor a 

designated master during certain time periods for a predefined variable to match a specified value. See 

 for a description of the user interface.



 – File events are user-defined conditions that affect specified files during designated time periods. See 

 for a description of the user interface.
