Reevaluating event rules

By reevaluating an event rule, you can confirm that an event rule filters all of the appropriate events when changes are made to an event rule filter.

Before you begin

An event rule must exist for an application that is registered with Global Mailbox before an event rule can be reevaluated.

About this task

When changes are made to the message name filter for an event rule, existing events might apply to the changes that are made to the filter. Reevaluating the event rule ensures that events are generated that match the changes that are made to the event rule.

To reevaluate an event rule:

Procedure

  1. On the Mailbox Explorer page, click the Event Rules tab.
    If you are using the Event Explorer page, select an application.
  2. Select an enabled event rule.
    Restriction: You can reevaluate only one event rule at a time. Reevaluating multiple event rules might reduce system performance.
  3. Click Evaluate Now.
  4. Click OK to confirm that you want to reevaluate the selected event rule.
    Tip: If an event rule is already being evaluated, the dialog The event rule Example Event Rule Name is already being evaluated is displayed. Click OK, and reevaluate the event rule when the current evaluation is complete.
