Schedule dependency

Depending on the configuration of the database or web service connection point, an event monitor or activation policy may yield other results than expected.

Example 1

A status change monitor is used. This monitor should generate an alert if the status changes from A to B. If all these conditions are met, the event is not detected:

  • The connector is scheduled every 5 minutes.
  • At 8:00 a Sync message having status A is published.
  • Between 8:00 and 8:05 the status changes first to B and then to C. Therefore, the next Sync message has status C.

The event monitor cannot detect the intermediate status B. Therefore no alert is raised.

Example 2

The schedule interval is 1 hour. The event monitor checks for a document that should occur within 2 hours after another document. An alert might be raised because the event monitor did not receive the second document in time, even though the condition may have been satisfied in the database in time.
