Inbound triggers
The IBM® EMM Scheduler can respond to triggers sent by an external application. The scheduler_console_client utility enables this feature. This utility issues triggers that can launch one or more schedules set up to listen for that trigger.
Because scheduler_console_client is a batch script application, it can be called by external applications, possibly using another batch script.
For example, if you set up a schedule that is listening for a trigger "T1," you could run the scheduler_console_client utility with the following command to send the T1 trigger: scheduler_console_client.bat –v –t T1
The utility can provide the following information.
*
A list of the schedules that are configured to listen for any given trigger.
*
Whether it has successfully sent the trigger (although it cannot report whether the schedule that is listening for the trigger executed successfully).
See The scheduler_console_client utility for complete details on using this utility.
Security considerations
Scheduling within the enterprise applications is considered to be an administrator's activity. It is assumed that any user who has the execute permission for the scheduler_console_client utility is also authorized to issue triggers.
To prevent any user from using this utility to issue a trigger, you should revoke execute permission for the utility for that user.
