Events Model
Events are a fundamental part of production. The events model is used to map out the critical events that occur to control production. These events can be created within this application or from external systems, and can be used to control workflow execution.
Time Events
Time events can be set by time span or by calendar, and they can be either single or recurring events.

      - Configure a time span event

      - Time Span Event Attributes
        Time span events allow you to indicate when you want an event to occur after the event has been enabled.
      - Calendar Event Attributes
        Calendar events allow you to indicate a recurrence pattern. You can set a start date and time and an end date and time. Events always fire against the local server time.
    - Condition Events
      Condition events are defined by logical expressions against variable values. When these components are set and enabled, they are monitored by the system. When expressions evaluate to true, the event occurs and subscribers to the event are notified.

Time Events

Time events can be set by time span or by calendar, and they can be either single or recurring events.

Events always fire against the local server time. However, the following exception applies during daylight saving time (DST) change.

Example: When time interval is configured in Days (or) in combination of Days and Hours.

When the clock is set back in autumn, an event set for 2:30 A.M. fires only once when the time is reached for the second time (after DST ends).
When the clock is moved forward in spring, an event set for 2:30 A.M. fires once at 3:30 A.M. on the first day (which would have been 2:30 A.M. before the time change), and then fired again at 2:30 A.M. the following day.

Example: When time interval is configured in Hours.

When the clock is set back in autumn, an event set for a particular time, such as 1:30 A.M. fires twice - once at the original time of 1:30 A.M., and then once again when that time reaches 1:30 A.M. for the second time.
When time interval is configured as Hour(s): When the clock is moved forward in spring, an event set for 2:30 A.M. fires at 3:30 A.M. on the first day (which would have been 2:30 A.M. before the time change), and then at 2:30 A.M. the following day.

Note: When you change the timezone in your system, make sure to restart the Proficy Workflow Client to reflect the correct event time in the Event Editor.
