Remote trigger

A rule set with a remote trigger is one that can be triggered by another rule set in the same or different job, or from a DOS command line using raiseevent.exe.

For example, you can create a 'sender' rule set that is configured to call a 'receiver' rule set in another job. The sender rule set provides a path to an XML file that the receiver will consume.

Circumstances under which it would make sense to use a remote trigger include:

• Interaction with a third-party, non-Prinergy system via the RaiseEvent.exe utility that ships with every Prinergy system. This is usually an MIS or Insite StoreFront system.
• Hub and spoke systems where the hub instructs the spoke (via a remote trigger) to start a workflow. This is common where spoke sites output plates only and the prepress preparation work is done on the hub.
• In advanced cases, a remote trigger can be used as a subroutine-type call within a rule set. This is a very advanced use and would not be common in the field.
