AtHoc
 CAP agents

BlackBerry AtHoc
 deploys the following two agents:
  • The CAP Feed Poller agent is a periodic job that polls an external source URL every 
    x
     seconds. 
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     supports polling two types of feeds:
    • ATOM (for example, Honeywell)
    • CAP XML format (for example, IPAWS)
  • When a feed is polled, the poll contains entries about CAP-captured events. Each ATOM entry has a link to the full CAP payload that includes all of the details about the event.
  • The CAP Event Processor identifies new entries, fetches CAP payloads, and applies business logic to publish the appropriate alert template (scenario.)
