Follow these rules when specifying arguments and commands
for a take action definition.
- A single parameter should not contain interleaving blanks, unless
you enclose the text in double quotes ("). Arguments containing interleaving blanks are separated into individual
values. Example: F HCHECKER,UPDATE,CHECK=(&Health_Checker_Checks.Check_Owner,
&Health_Checker_Checks.Check_Name),PARM="&Health_Checker_Checks.
Parameters"
- Specify substitution variables by prefixing attribute names with
an & ampersand.
- Specify fully qualified attributes in the &Groupname.Attributename format,
indicating that a value can only be substituted from a specific attribute
group.
- Command strings are created by concatenating the contents of the
Command entry field with all the arguments in the Arguments field.
- When an attribute is selected and added to the Arguments field,
the attribute is removed from the list of available attributes.
- A command string (Command + Arguments) definition is limited to
512 bytes. The formatted command string, after variable substitution,
is limited to 256 bytes.
- The action command is issued with the authorization of the user
ID on the managed system or monitoring server machine to which it
is sent. If your managed network validates user IDs, then your ID
must be authorized on the relevant system receiving the command. For
example, to issue a TSO command, your user ID must be a valid TSO
ID and it must also be defined as a valid logon ID for the Tivoli® Enterprise
Portal.
