Working with the Raise Event Node :: SAS(R) Visual Process Orchestration 2.1: User's Guide

Overview of the Node

You can add a Raise Event node to a Flow tab in an orchestration job to raise an event. When the node starts running, it raises the specified event. A dataflow might expose an option to raise an event if a certain condition is met.

Inputs and Outputs to the Raise Event Node

The Raise Event node has discoverable inputs and outputs. Therefore, the content of the node has to be passed to the server in order to determine inputs and outputs.

Using the Raise Event Node

You can create an orchestration job that is designed to demonstrate how Event Listener nodes interact with other nodes. This job uses a Raise Event node to raise specified events when certain conditions are met.

The following display shows the sample job. It uses a Raise Event node in the Flow tab that is connected to an Event Listener node:
