You can add one or more event sources for a connection. An event source serves as a start event that listens or monitors a specified location for new files or messages. After you define an event source for a connection, you can publish the connection only on a Secure Agent and not on the Cloud Server. You can then access the event source in a process and deploy the process only on a Secure Agent to consume the process objects generated by the event source downstream.
To create event sources for a connection, from the Event Sources tab, click Add Event Source, and select the event source type from the available list.
The following table describes the event source properties that are available for all event source types:
Property
Description
Name
Required. Unique name for the event source.
Description
Optional. Description for the event source.
Enabled
Select Yes to make the event source available immediately after it is published.
Select No to disable the event source until you are ready to use it.
Default is Yes.
You can view the status of each event source in the published connection. If the status of the event source is stopped, you can republish the connection and restart the event source. When you republish the connection, all the event sources in the connection start by default.
For more information about starting and stopping event sources in a listener-based connection, see Connectors for Cloud Application Integration and Monitor.
