Monitoring IBM Workload Scheduler actions

When you decide to take a proposed action, you have several deployment options. For example, you might schedule the action to run unattended after midnight or to run with user involvement during the day.

After you schedule the actions, the HCL BigFix server attempts to identify the computers suitable for those actions. Ideally, the HCL BigFix client gathers the action information from the action site and performs it immediately. However, some computers might be powered off and others might be mobile devices undocked when the action is deployed. As soon as these computers become available, the remedial action is applied.

To monitor a deployed action, using the HCL BigFix Console, click the Actions icon in the Domain panel navigation tree.

If you have not yet deployed an action or all the actions completed, this list is empty. Otherwise, click any action to view its status, whether it is evaluating, waiting, running, fixed, or failed. You can also add comments to the action.

Actions might go through several states as they are collected, evaluated, and run by clients.

Note: If an action failed for any reason and its state is Open, before running it again, make sure to stop it and that it is not listed in the actions list.
