Trigger event settings

Event settings initiate map components of a system. Each map component is run based on a time event, source event, or combination of multiple events. A source event can be a file, message, or database event. If a map component is not assigned an event trigger, the Launcher does not initiate that map to run.

Note: When you analyze a system on the IFD and your system is configured for Launcher mode, a warning for a source or compiled map component that has no associated event triggers results.

A watch consists of the map and the set of events that initiate that map. Each event that contributes to the initiation of a map is called a trigger. Whenever the Launcher detects a new event trigger, the watches associated with that trigger are either initiated, placed in an initiation pending state, or maintained in an initiation pending state until all specified event triggers have occurred.

The same map can appear in different watches. For more information on this situation, see Same Map in Different Watches.
