Event Server Settings
Some map component settings are specific to an Event Server, including time
event triggers, input event triggers, and the execution priority of the map.
Examples of an input event trigger include when a file's timestamp changes, or
when a messaging system receives a message.
Note If you are using cluster support for the Event Server, the system definition file
(.msd) is a key factor in the behavior of file triggers. The OnSuccess card setting
must be set to Delete to prevent the file from being processed more than once.
Source and Target Settings
A source is used to read input data from a file, query a database, retrieve a
message from a messaging system, or receive the results of a call to an
application. A target is used to write output data to a file, insert or update data
into a database, send a message to a messaging system, or call an application to
send data to it.
A map component that references an executable map has a default set of sources
and targets defined within the referenced source or compiled map file. The
sources and targets are the interface points of the map component used within a
system. The IFD displays sources and targets of a map component.
