Take Action commands reference

Take Action commands can be run from the portal client or included in a situation or a policy.


About Take Action commands

When included in a situation, the command runs when the situation becomes true. A Take Action command in a situation is also referred to as reflex automation. When you enable a Take Action command in a situation, you automate a response to system conditions. For example, you can use a Take Action command to send a command to restart a process on the managed system or to send a text message to a cell phone.

In advanced automation, policies are used to take actions, schedule work, and automate manual tasks. A policy comprises a series of automated steps called activities that are connected to create a workflow. After an activity is completed, the Tivoli Enterprise Portal receives return-code feedback, and advanced automation logic responds with subsequent activities that are prescribed by the feedback.

A basic Take Action command shows the return code of the operation in a message box that is displayed after the action is completed or in a log file. After you close this window, no further information is available for this action.
