Overview of Configuration Management Server-Side Triggers

Server Administration > Automate Tasks and Calculate Data Using Event Triggers > Overview of Configuration Management Server-Side Triggers

Configuration management server-side triggers execute in response to an action on the Windchill RV&S client, and reside on the Windchill RV&S server where they are executed.

Server-side triggers are administered through the file system of the Windchill RV&S server and are enabled by default through Configuration Management > Configuration > Properties in the Windchill RV&S administration client.

Some uses for configuration management server-side triggers include:

• Send an e-mail to the change package creator, reviewer, or watcher if change package review is enabled

• Apply a label to a revision with the name of the user who checked in the revision

• Prevent users from adding members of a certain file type

• Ensure change package entries occur on the same development path for a change package

• Send an e-mail to the configuration management administrator when configuration management projects or subprojects are added or dropped

Restarting Windchill RV&S server

Once you have created the event triggers and updated the events definition file, you can restart the Windchill RV&S server to have the triggers take effect immediately.

For more information on running the Windchill RV&S server, see the Running Windchill RV&S server topic in the Install and Configuration documentation.
