Chapter 36. Manual Task Execution
Since 3.1
A manual task execution allows you to invoke a task directly with an immediate effect, without defining and triggering an event.
There are a number of task types that are usually associated with a triggering event, such as a file listener or a graph/jobflow listener. You can execute any of these tasks manually.
Additionally, you can specify task parameters to simulate a source event that would normally trigger the task. The following is a figure displaying how a 'file event' could be simulated. The parameters for various event sources are listed in the Chapter 34, Graph/Jobflow Parameters.
