What controls events?

Event controls are options for processing messages and events. The change or task Phase definition record contains control information that defines when Change Management processes events for the named phase.

The cm3rmessages file

You must define all event names in the cm3rmessages file, or else no event processing can occur. Events are processed when the phase of the change or task is defined in the Phases field of the cm3rmessages file.

The ocmevents record

If the Phase field is NULL on the ocmevents record, the event is processed for all phases.
