Events

Events provide to the user the possibility to enable the execution of a job only and when a certain condition occurs.

Therefore, when a job is submitted, it may require the presence of certain events to run. If at the submission time, the events required by the job, are not verified, the job is paused (put on hold) until all the events requested occur.

XBM supports the following categories of events:

•	Logic events

•	Job events

•	File events

Different event categories may be mixed in the definition of a job.

Requiring events

Events are required by specifying XBM static tags inside the job script. For further information please refer to the JCL Interface section.
