Event ID 2208 — Trigger Operation

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

Message Queuing Triggers is a service that you can use to associate the arrival of each incoming message at a queue with a response that depends on the contents of the message. The response may invoke either a Component Object Model (COM) component or a stand-alone executable program. These components or programs can define business rules that can be invoked in response to such messages, without any additional programming. An issue with triggers operations can, depending on the issue, prevent the invocation of some or all business rules.
