In response to an event, starts a program on
the management server (the system running IBM® Systems
Director Server)
that received the event. Programs can include command-line commands that can
start or stop programs on the system.
Fields
- Action name
- Specifies the name for the event action.
- Working directory
- Specifies the working directory used by the program. Specifying a working
directory has the same effect as changing the current directory to a specified
drive and directory before starting a program. This capability is helpful
if the program being started needs to load other files or programs that are
assumed to be in the same location.
You can use event-data-substitution
variables in this field.
- Program file name
- Specifies the program file that is to be run on the target system. When
running a program, the program file name might include
the drive and directory information relative to the target system. An alternative
to fully qualifying the program is to use a working directory.
You also
can specify system commands (for example, erase c:\logs\*.log). Note that
in all cases, the target system command processor is used to initiate each
program or command.
You can use event-data-substitution
variables in this field.
- Language
- Sets the preferred language that the event-data substitution
uses, for example, in the &text variable.
- Time zone
- Sets the time zone that event-data substitution uses,
for example, in the &time variable.
- Description
- Accepts a description of the event action that you have configured.
Actions
- Insert
- Inserts the event-data-substitution variable that you have selected from
the list. You can select and insert more than one variable into an associated
field. For information about the information each variable provides, see "Event-data-substitution
variables."
- Test
- Tests the event action so you can make sure it performs as expected.
- OK
- Saves changes on the page and closes the page.
- Cancel
- Closes the page without saving any changes that you have made.
