iServer Custom Event Web Service

rmurphy

Actuate iServer supports report scheduling based on an event in addition to the traditional calendar date/time based schedule. Actuate iServer supports the following types of events:<br />
<br />
File event -- A file exists on the OS file system<br />
<br />
Job event -- An Encyclopedia volume job executes<br />
<br />
Custom event -- Actuate iServer Express waits for a signal from an external web service <br />
<br />
You can use the first two event types, the file event and job event, without any custom programming. To use a custom event with a job, you need to create a web service and configure Actuate iServer to communicate with the web service. <br />
<br />
This example demonstrates how to implement and deploy a web service as an Actuate iServer event service, the Actuate iServer installation program installs a sample web service and configures the Encyclopedia volume to use the web service as an Actuate iServer custom event service. The source code for the example web service ships with Server Integration Technology in the folder Custom Event Web Service.
