There are quite a few ways to trigger the event: - Define schedule date/time; - Use DSTRIG or WOBTRIG in the event: - Set the event as a monitor event: - Issue TRIGGER command.
And you can access ESP thru many different methods, here are some commonly used ones:
From mainframe: - Issue MVS comamnd against ESP STC, like: /F esp_stc,command - Run ESP in batch JCL; - Call ESP (which itself can be considered as an API) from REXX.
From distributed platform: - Run ESPlmi utility: it's in the agent installation folder - Run ESPmgr utility: it's in the agent installation folder - Use REST API.
