Submit One-time Events with the Ad Hoc Option

Several event types, including Data Export, Data Upload, Issuer Relationship Builder, and Data Archive can be submitted with the special Ad Hoc option that allows one-time activation of these events with dependencies, time limits, and notifications ignored. These events may be submitted from the Events, Jobs, Schedule, or Monitor workspaces. The primary purpose of the Ad Hoc option is to test newly designed Uploaders and Exporters to ensure they are working correctly.

For the Ad Hoc option, dependencies, time limits, and notifications will not be taken into account. This is simply a one-time submission of the event.

1. In Automation Desk, click Events, Jobs, Schedule, or Monitor in the left navigation.
2. Click the Submit button and select Ad Hoc.
