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 Graph/Jobflow Parameters.
