• Since Autosys in Event-driven,it requires an event to occur on which the job depends,for a job to be activated by the Event Processor.
• The sources of these events can be:-
o Jobs changing status such as starting,finishing
o Internal Autosys verification Agents such as detected errors.
o Events send with the SENDEVENT command
• While processing an event,the Event processor scans the database for jobs that are dependent on that event
• If the event satisfies another job’s starting condition,that job is run automatically and completion of that job can cause another job to be started,thereby making the jobs progress in a controlled sequence.
