Cisco Cisco Workload Automation 6.3 User Guide

Events

Event Types

Job and system events are defined as conditions that occur within CWA while variable, file and email are defined as 
conditions that occur outside of the system that CWA will monitor for.



 – MSSql events are defined as events that are triggered on Windows SQL Server for table, index, 

and row creation, modification and deletion. 



 – OracleDB events are defined as the detection of a change within a monitored Oracle datatable. This 

change can be the addition, modification or deletion of rows, indexes and tables.



 – An SAP monitor is defined from the 

dialog. This dialog displays whenever you add or 

edit an SAP event.



 – Email events are user-defined conditions for monitoring for defined conditions within email. The 

condition is a specified text string in an email originating from a designated email server.



 – You can define events acting as a “consumer” that can be used for monitoring selected topics or 

queues in the JMS systems.

Windows Event Log IDs

Every job or system event log action generates a entry to the CWA log. If you are running CWA on Windows, you can also 
choose to write to the Windows application log. Each Windows log message generated by a CWA event has a unique 
event ID number. The unique IDs make it possible to interact with other third party software. (These event IDs do not 
apply to the Unix platform.)

A complete list of both job and system event triggers and their event ID numbers is provided in 

Events Preferences Dialog

If you select

 dialog, you can select which columns are displayed in the 

 pane and in what order 

they appear.

A checkmark to the left of a column title indicates that it will be displayed in the pane. No checkmark indicates that 
it will not be displayed.
