When a user needs to schedule a job based on a custom event, the administrator configures the following system properties in AC_CONFIG_HOME\acserverconfig.xml, to set up a web service application for triggering the job to run.
EventPollingInterval
Specifies the frequency in minutes that iHub checks for a system event. The default value is 5 minutes.
EventPollingDuration
Specifies the duration in minutes that BIRT iHub checks for an event. If the event does not occur within the allotted time, BIRT iHub marks it as expired. A user can customize this value when creating an event-driven schedule. This value applies to all types of system events. The default value is 300 minutes.
EventLagTime
Specifies the minutes that BIRT iHub scans for completed jobs to determine if an event occurred. For example, if you submit an event-based schedule with the default event lag time, BIRT iHub checks the status of jobs for the previous 60 minutes. If the event occurred within the previous 60 minutes, it sets the event status to satisfied. The default value is 60 minutes.
EnableCustomEventService
A flag that enables BIRT iHub custom event processing for a scheduled job. If the value is true, the service is enabled. If you change the value to false, all the existing instances of scheduled jobs using the custom event fail. This configuration value also affects the EnableEventService property value in the Actuate IDAPI GetVolumeProperties response. The default value is True.
CustomEventServiceIPAddress
Specifies the server name or IP address where the custom event service resides. The default value is localhost.
CustomEventServicePort
Specifies the number of a valid, used port for the custom event service. iHub uses an application container to host web services applications. The default value is 8700.
CustomEventServiceContextString
Specifies the context string of the request URL for sending a message to the custom event service. The default value is /acevent/servlet/AxisServlet.
