In Eagle Accounting, various global process events generate secondary events, or loopbacks. For example, when processing a corporate action, the system first performs a query to determine which entities and securities are eligible for a given corporate action process based on the date range you entered. The query is considered the initial event. The secondary event, or loopback, is the actual processing of the corporate action based on the query results from the initial event.
Each time a loopback is created, the accounting engine writes a record to the ESTAR_LOOPBACK_EVENTS table. When the engine is finished processing the loopback, the record is updated. The Global Process Center looks to this table to determine whether the engine has finished processing an event.
