Pipeline Triggers

The Pipeline Triggers page maintains a list of all pipeline triggers, including their properties.

The pipeline triggers listed may be filtered by pipeline, trigger type, enabled/disabled status, execution profile, user, and dates created and modified.

Clicking more (...) to the right of each pipeline shows the following options:

  • Edit: Launches the dialog for modifying the properties of the selected trigger.
  • Delete: Confirms the deletion of the selected trigger.
  • Disable/Enable: Disables/Enables the selected trigger.
  • Run as me: Confirms whether future pipeline runs will be executed as the current user instead of the configured user.

The New button launches the editor for creating a new trigger for a pipeline.

There are two types of triggers: time based triggers and file event triggers. Time based triggers can be Recurring or single use (Once) triggers. There is also an Advanced option to specify a trigger in cron format for more complex time based triggers.

File based triggers can be configured to trigger either on the arrival or existence of a file. File triggers are checked for on the Altair SLC Hub server machine, so trigger files must be on the server or on a shared drive mounted to the server. The file trigger path can make use of wildcard characters: ? matches any non-separator character; * matches a sequence of any non-separator characters.
