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.
