Value Substitution

When you are using Other value data substitution, the following options are available.

The default substitution values are for an On Demand activity.

Substitution type
Your selection here dynamically changes the window options.
Value: Use this type to substitute data returned by an On Demand activity.
Diagnosis: Use this type to substitute diagnosis data.
Other: Use this type to substitute other values from the active policy.
Web Services Activity
Displays when Value and Diagnosis are selected as the substitution type. Select the appropriate activity from the drop-down list.
Value Type
Displays only when Value is selected as the substitution type. Your selection here dynamically changes the window options.
On Demand attribute: Use this type to substitute an attribute from an On Demand activity. In the Attribute name field, specify the name of the attribute returned by the On Demand activity.
  • Note: Leave out any non-alphanumeric characters and replace all spaces with underscores (_). If an attribute name begins with a non-alphanumeric character followed by a space, omit both. For example, % User Time is entered as User_Time and Avg % Processor Time is entered as Avg__Processor_Time.
XML element: Use this type to substitute XML data. Fill out the now visible Element substitution section providing the appropriate attribute and XML data. Typically this is not used.
Diagnosis type
Displays when Diagnosis is selected as the substitution type. Select one of the following options:
Request: Use when you want the content of the request sent by the specified Web Services Activity.
Response: Use when you want the response returned by the request. No response is available for the Configure Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager Integration activity or the Send a Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager Update activity; N/A is returned if these activities are selected as the web service.
Status: Use when you want the HTTP status of the request.
