WMI Trigger

The WMI Trigger allows adTempus to receive Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) events and trigger jobs based on them.

For information on WMI, refer to the Microsoft Platform SDK documentation.

For sample WMI queries, visit the Arcana Development web site.

Changes from Previous Versions

If you are upgrading from adTempus 3 or earlier and are using scripts to filter WMI events, some changes are required.

Filter scripts must now be .NET scripts (VB.NET or C#); WSH scripts (VBScript) are not supported. If your script is already a .NET script, the script class must be modified to derive from the WMITriggerScriptBase class. Previous versions of adTempus exposed the WMI event through a Job Variable. Starting with version 4 the event is passed in the Parameters.WMIEvent object instead, which exposes the event as a ManagementBaseObject . The event is no longer available through a Job Variable.
