Sets a user-defined system variable
to a new value or resets the value of an existing system variable. IBM® Systems
Director provides
user-defined system variables to help you test and track the status of network
resources according to the needs of your organization. System variable names
and values can be referenced wherever event data substitution is allowed.
Note: This event action affects an IBM Systems
Director-provided, user-defined
system variable, not an operating-system variable.
Fields
- Variable name
- Specifies the name of the system variable.
- New value
- Specifies the value assigned to the system variable when this action is
initiated.
- Reset value to use when IBM Systems
Director Server restarts
- Optional: Specifies the value to set for
the system variable if one of the following criteria is met:
- The interval specified in the Time until automatic value reset field
is expired.
- IBM Systems
Director Server is restarted.
If you do not specify a value, the value resets to a
null value.
- Time until automatic value reset
- Specifies the interval, in seconds, that must elapse before the system
variable's value is reset. The interval begins when this action is initiated,
that is, when the value is reset. This setting is applicable
only if you have specified a reset value.
