Deploying IBM Workload Scheduler actions

To deploy an IBM Workload Scheduler action using the HCL BigFix Console, perform the following procedure:

  1. Click the list panel to open a relevant Fixlet or task. Make sure the Description tab is selected.
  2. Read the description carefully. Scroll down to see the suggested actions.
  3. Click the Details tab and search the action. Examine the Relevance section and the action script itself.
  4. In the Description tab, click the link corresponding to the Fixlet action or click the Take Action button.
  5. The Action Parameter pop-up window is displayed. Provide the required information. Click OK.
  6. The Take Action dialog box is displayed. In the Preset pull-down menu, you can accept the default settings or select Policy to set an action with no expiration date. For more information about presets, see the section about Custom Actions.
    1. You can refine the list of targeted computers using the Target tab. Use the computer tree in the left panel to filter the list of workstations in the right panel.
    2. In the Execution tab, you can set various scheduling constraints and behaviors.
    3. In the Messages tab, you can create an optional message to be shown on the HCL BigFix client computers.
    4. In the Action Script tab, operators with Custom Authoring permissions can modify the action script.
    5. Use the other interface tabs to further modify the Action settings.
  7. Click OK
Note: If you are taking an action that applies to different computers, when you are prompted to insert values for the action parameters, you must leave the default values; you must not specify other values.

The action is propagated to all the computers targeted in the Take Action dialog. After the action ends successfully and the targeted computers are fixed, those computers no longer report this Fixlet as relevant.
