The Event Studio Window

Use the Event Studio window to interactively create and manage agents.

The Event Studio window is made up of four areas:

The four areas are shown in the following diagram.

Insertable Objects Area

The Insertable Objects area contains items that you can add to the event condition and tasks. There are several tabs along the bottom of this area.

The Source Tab

The source tab  shows a hierarchical list of the source items, both relational and dimensional, in the model package.

The Data Items Tab

The data items tab  shows a list of all the data items contained in the agent. The data items tab also shows the calculations used in the agent.

The Functions Tab

The functions tab  shows a list of mathematical functions, such as operators and summaries, that you can use in event conditions and to create calculated data items.

Tip: If you are specifying an event condition and want to know the meaning of a function icon, click the icon and read the description in the Information box.

The Parameters Tab

The parameters tab  shows a list of each parameter you defined, indicated by the parameter icon. You can use parameters when specifying the event condition.

The Run History Tab

The run history tab  shows a list of items you can specify when you add an on-error task to an agent.
