ExternalEventOnSystem

Integer

2147483647

Purpose

The ExternalEventOnSystem parameter specifies an optional numeric value in the range 16 through 2147483647 (2G) that indicates the user event caused on the System object (for example, to shut down a JADE system from a batch process). The specified event value must match the value specified in the eventType parameter in the Object::beginNotification method.

For details, see "causeEventOnSystem" under "Running a Non-GUI Client Application using jadclient", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Runtime Application Guide.

Parameter is read when …

The jadclient executable (the non‑GUI client application) is next initialized.

If the jadclient program does not detect an event type specified in the command line (that is, the causeEventOnSystem parameter), it checks in the [JadeClient] section for an ExternalEventOnSystem parameter.

If neither of these parameters is found, the event defaults to the maximum user events value of 2,147,483,647 (that is, 2G bytes).
