    4. Manual task execution

    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 Job parameters.

    Using Manual Task Execution

    In the Server GUI, switch to the Event Listeners tab. In the New Listener drop-down menu, select the Manual Task Execution option.

    Choose the task type you would like to use. See documentation on chosen tasks:

    Send an Email

    Execute Shell Command

    Start a Graph

    Start a Jobflow

    Abort job

    Archive Records

    Send a JMS Message

    Execute Groovy Code

    If the server is suspended, form requires explicit confirmation of execution on suspended server.

    To access the Manual Task Execution form, you need Manual task execution permission.
