System Listeners in eCatalog

Automating Responses to System Events and Changes:

The System Listeners feature in eCatalog plays a crucial role in enhancing the system's responsiveness and automation capabilities. This feature involves a series of listeners that are configured to monitor specific events or changes within the system, triggering predefined actions whenever these events occur.

Overview of System Listeners:

Function of Listeners:

• Event Monitoring: 
  Listeners are set up to monitor various types of events within the system, such as changes to data records, user actions, or scheduled tasks.
• Action Initiation: Upon detecting an event, each listener executes specific actions as defined by developers. These actions can include sending notifications, updating related records, starting workflows, or any other automated response necessary for the system's operation.

Samples of Listeners:

• Schedule Job Listeners
  These listeners are configured to trigger actions at specified times or intervals, commonly used for routine tasks such as data backups, report generation, or regular data synchronization.
• Record Change Listeners
  These are particularly focused on database changes. They activate when changes are made to specified records in the database, ensuring that all relevant processes or data dependencies are automatically updated in real-time.
• Custom Listeners
  Programmers can create his own listeners

Benefits of System Listeners:

• Increased Automation: By automating responses to system events, listeners reduce the need for manual intervention, streamlining operations and minimizing human error.
• Enhanced Responsiveness: Listeners ensure that the system reacts immediately to changes and events, improving the system’s overall efficiency and responsiveness.
• Customizability and Flexibility: Administrators and developers can customize listeners to meet specific operational needs, making the system highly adaptable to various business requirements.
