Job Events

About Job Events

A job event connects job event triggers to actions. For example, you can create a job event that sends you an email 
message (an email action) if any of your jobs complete with a 

 status. Each job event that you 

create is associated with a particular event trigger, and can result in one or more actions that you select. You can make 
job events generic for assignment to multiple jobs. Job events can also be made public for all users of CWA to use. You 
can only view job events that belong to you and any workgroups you belong to.

The job event is created in the 

 dialog by linking predefined actions to the job event triggers that 

CWA provides.

CWA monitors every point of a job’s life cycle to trigger job events. These job event triggers are associated with a job 
event from the 

 dialog. 

The three general categories of job event triggers are:



 – The status of a job changes as it is processed.



 – A job runs outside of its expected runtime, possibly affecting the schedule of other jobs



 – An operator performs manual control of a job, such as starting or stopping the job.

Job Event Definition Dialog

The 

 dialog displays when you add or edit a job event.

Common to All Tabs



 – The name of the job event (up to 30 characters).



 – The condition that triggers the associated action(s).


