Triggering an Event

An event step has no addressee, and so is not delivered to a work queue. Instead, the event step is marked as outstanding by the TIBCO iProcess Engine until an event is triggered.

Events are triggered in one of two ways:

•	by expiry of the deadline (if defined), in which case the deadline action will be processed, i.e. the link from the bottom of the Event object.

•	by using the SWDIR\bin\swutil utility, in which case the release action will be processed, i.e. the link from the right of the Event object.

For more information about how to:

−	trigger an event from the server, see "Issue an Event" in TIBCO iProcess swutil and swbatch Reference Guide.

−	trigger an event from iProcess Workspace (Windows), see "Issue an Event" in TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Windows) Manager's Guide.

Entries are put in the Audit Trail of the form “...processed to [EVENT]” and “event issued by...” for procedures using events.
