When do I need SLCs?

Always use an SLC when you want to know that something has happened or has not happened.

Rules are triggered only by events. SLCs are able to generate events when a specified condition, such as that a process must start by 10:00 a.m., does or does not occur.

An SLC can tell you when certain things failed to occur, such as:

• Processes, process steps, or file transfers that are supposed to start by a specific time
• Processes, process steps, or file transfers that are supposed to end by a specific time
• Processes, process steps, or file transfers that are supposed to run for a specified duration
