Simple components

Trigger systems in HCL® Opportunity Detect all have Simple components as their basic building block. Simple is the only component type that is triggered by incoming transactions in the transaction data feed, and not by an event produced by another component. This is why every trigger system requires at least one Simple component.

Simple components watch for the occurrence of a single transaction that matches specified criteria. A Simple component fires a positive event when the criteria are met.

A Simple component must contain at least one comparison to a transaction data source field, in the form of a Boolean expression. This Boolean expression can be either an inline expression or a reference to an expression component. Without a transaction, the Simple component would never fire.

Simple component example

In its most basic form, the Simple Event component compares one field from a transaction data source to a specified value.

For example, you could look at the value of the field Transaction Code found in the data source Account Transactions and test to see if it matches the string constant ACH Credit.
