Action types

Actions connect to the IBM® Power resources and initiate an operation on the resource. Each action represents a specific operation that is run on a resource, such as using the Read Data Queue to retrieve records from dataqueues in the IBM Power systems. IBM Power provides four types of action.

Call Command

Runs a noninteractive IBM Power batch command, providing a flexible interface for starting system commands programmatically.

Call Program

Initiates an IBM Power program, enabling seamless integration and interaction with custom or external programs on the system.

Read Data Queue

Reads messages from an IBM Power dataqueue, facilitating data retrieval for further processing.

Write Data Queue

Writes messages to an IBM Power dataqueue, allowing seamless integration with systems by using a DataQueue for communication.
