Running the trigger agent

The trigger agent utility is used for scheduling time-triggered transactions.

You can override the agent criteria attributes only in the Real-Time Availability Monitor and Inventory Monitor. The command for triggering the Real-Time Availability Monitor and Inventory Monitor with override abilities is:
  • Windows<INSTALL_DIR>\bin\triggeragent.cmd <criteriaID> -<AgentCriteriaAttribute> <OverriddenValue>
  • UNIXLINUX<INSTALL_DIR>/bin/triggeragent.sh <criteriaID> -<AgentCriteriaAttribute> <OverriddenValue>
To enable this override, you should pass the AgentCriteriaAttribute and OverriddenValue as additional parameters to the Java class in the triggeragent script as follows:

java com.yantra.ycp.agent.server.YCPAgentTrigger -criteria %*

Therefore, when you invoke:


triggerAgent.sh CustomCriteria -MyOverriddenParam DynamicValue

...all the values are passed to the Java class.

However, do not modify the parameters passed to the Java class in the default triggeragent script. Make these changes in the file that you have copied and renamed from the triggeragent script. Also, the agent criteria XML code must have the AllowedOverriddenCriteria flag set to Y.
