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.
