Internal vs External Events

Internal Events created from Enterprise Manager/Solution Manager (Self-Service)
- Events tab in Schedule/Job Master
- Event notification trigger in Notification Manager
- Events assigned to buttons within Self-Service/Solution Manager
- Internal Events are authenticated through User Account which created Event in Enterprise Manager
External Events
- Anything that can generate a text file with Event syntax can interact with OpCon through an external hook called MSGIN
- SMA Examples: SMAResource Monitor, SMArt Email, SMAParseFile

note

External Events must be authenticated with an OpCon Username and an External Event Password or Token

External Event Tokens

note

Beginning with OpCon 20.0 - External Event Passwords must be created by generating an External Token in the Enterprise Manager Password Update Menu OR in the External Token Tab of the User Profile topic in Solution Manager

Legacy External Event Passwords will still be active within existing systems but must be replaced with an External Token when a Password change is required
