Event Server

The Event Server manages file-based events. When you set up a file-based event within Crystal Enterprise, the Event Server monitors the directory that you specified. When the appropriate file appears in the monitored directory, the Event Server triggers your file-based event: that is, the Event Server notifies the APS that the file-based event has occurred. The APS then starts any jobs that are dependent upon your file-based event.

After notifying the APS of the event, the Event Server resets itself and again monitors the directory for the appropriate file. When the file is newly created in the monitored directory, the Event Server again triggers your file-based event.
