Event Requestor: Defining Events

The Events tab in the Event Requestor Configuration tool is where you define the actual events that will be sent to the Astute Agent Server.

On the left side of the tab is a list of all defined events. Select an event to edit it. To add a new event, click the New Event button beneath the list.

Note: If you change any settings, or add or delete events, you must stop and restart the service before those changes will take effect.

Event Settings

For each event, the following settings are available:

Field	Description

Here is a list of the most common files and their purpose: System.xml: Enables the certain system processes, including Notifier. PCATSevent.xml: Enables the PCATS processing.

PCAS Settings

Normally, you will use the default settings. However, if you want an event to be sent to a different Astute Agent Server (PCAS), it is possible to override the settings. This is primarily used if you have a production Astute Agent Server and either a test or training Astute Agent Server on the same machine. You could set up two events and point them at different Astute Agent Server instances.

Field	Description
Use Defaults	Select this box to use the default values provided on the General tab. Clear this box to override the settings.
Username	Enter a username to be used to contact the Astute Agent Server.
Password	Enter the password associated with the username.
Application Server URL	Enter the full URL to the Astute Agent Server request page. Example: http://servername/sitename/PCAS/Request.aspx Replace servername and sitename with the correct information for your Web server and website.
