Only difference I have really seen is in the Approval and Notification requests, but then again perhaps it was there in 8.4 and I just never used it... I don't have an 8.4 environment up anymore so I cannot verify this.

As for the Trigger using event triggers

Do you mean running an Event Studio job once a trigger has been kicked off or use Event Studio to execute a Trigger based batch file?

If you want the Event Studio job to run on a Trigger execution you just set it up like you would set up a normal report schedule with a Trigger - this is set up in the Scheduling part once the Event Studio job is created.

As for the other, you could set it up so that you run a simple report in your Event Studio tasks, that could even be 1=1 or something along those lines that saves the output to a shared File system and have your 'listener' waiting for this 'touchfile' to execute the batch Trigger. Your listener could be something like ESP Scheduling or a simple cron job that runs every minute looking for the touch file - if it doesn't see it do nothing if the touch file exists then run TriggerA.bat  something like that.
