5.3.4 Inherited event information

When defining an automated action, by using a variable you can specify information about the JP1 event that triggers the action as inherited event information. Inherited event information can be specified for the following items:

• Target host
• Execution user name
• Environment variable file
• Action

The following table lists the inherited event information you can specify.

(a) Specification method

Inherited event information is specified using a variable. Specify the variable in the form $variable-name. To specify a dollar sign as a character, type a backslash (\) before the dollar sign (\$).

(b) Converting inherited event information

You can convert special ASCII characters included in inherited event information into a different character string.

This functionality allows you to convert characters in event information that have a special meaning in the OS into different characters.

Specify the special characters and the characters they are to be converted into using a configuration file for converting information. For details about this file, see Configuration file for converting information (event_info_replace.conf) in 2.
