Store and Forward event

A Store and Forward event trigger executes when a transport's store and forward state changes.

The transport must be configured for store and forward support. For more information, see Store & Forward tab.

Defining a store and forward event trigger

To define a store and forward event trigger, follow these steps:

  1. From the Workbench left pane, expand the node where you want to define the store and forward event trigger.
  2. Select the Project icon to display the Projects window, right-click a specific project tab to display its pop-up menu, and then select New.
    You also can select the New button at the bottom of the Projects window when a specific project tab has already been selected.
  3. The new Trigger window appears.
    Name the trigger. The trigger name can be up to 64 characters and include letters, numbers, and the underscore character. Spaces are allowed.
  4. From the Event tab, select the Trigger Event Type down-arrow, expand the Enterprise category, and then select Store and Forward Event.

    The Event tab becomes active with parameters that accommodate the store and forward event.
