Example
The following example shows the definition of a hosted event provider. The event provider is named StockEP, and is implemented by the StockData.StockProvider class in the StockProvider.dll assembly. The event provider will run on the server specified by the %SYSNAME% parameter.
The event provider will start running at 10:00 PM on the day the instance is started, and will run every five minutes thereafter. If the event provider does not complete in 3 minutes, processing for the current interval is cancelled. The event provider takes a single argument that specifies the URL it uses as the event source.
