Job Triggers are used to start or interrupt other Jobs. Two types of triggers are available by default:

• Run Job Triggers: used to start a Job.

• Shutdown Web Services Triggers: used to shut down real-time processes.

Further Triggers can be configured by an Administrator, such as sending a JMS message or calling a Web Service. They are configured using the Phase Configuration dialog, an example of which is provided below:

Triggers can be set before or after a Phase. A Before Trigger is indicated by a blue arrow above the Phase name, and an After Trigger is indicated by a red arrow below it. For example, the following image shows a Phase with Before and After Triggers:

Triggers can also be specified as Blocking Triggers. A Blocking Trigger prevents the subsequent Trigger or Phase beginning until the task it triggers is complete.
