Add Event Filter Constraint

This dialog box enables you to configure event filter constraints for an automated task. Event filter constraints define the criteria that an incoming event must meet for the automated task to run.

As you save each event filter constraint, an entry is made in the scrolling list of the Add/Edit Automated Task dialog box.

The Add Event Filter Constraint dialog box has the following fields:

Attribute
Select an event attribute to use in a constraint from the drop-down menu. See Event Attributes for descriptions.
Operator
Select an SQL operator to use in a constraint from the drop-down menu. The natural language term for an SQL operator is listed without parentheses. The SQL operator is listed within the parentheses. For details about SQL operators, see the SQL language reference for the RDBMS you are using for the event database.
Value
Specify a value to use in a constraint. This field can have several different ways to specify a value, based on the event attribute and SQL operator that were previously selected.

You can also use SQL wildcard characters in values you specify. Because constraints result in a WHERE clause for querying the event database, any wildcard characters supported by the RDBMS used for the event database can be specified in a value.

Click the OK button to save each constraint and return to the Add/Edit Automated Task dialog box.
