An overview of Take Action commands, references about Take Action commands, and descriptions of special Take Action commands.
About Take Action commands
Take Action commands can be included in an Agent Builder monitoring agent. Take Action commands can be run from the portal client or included in a situation or a policy. When included in a situation, the command runs when the situation becomes true. A Take Action command in a situation is also known 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. You can also use a Take Action command to send a text message to a cell phone.
Advanced automation uses policies to run actions, schedule work, and automate manual tasks. A policy comprises a series of automated steps that are 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 prescribed by the feedback.
A basic Take Action command displays the return code of the operation in a message box or a log file that is displayed after action completion. After you close this window, no further information is available for this action.
