7.2.2 Action flow dialog box

(1) Unit dialog box

When you put an item you want to add to Action flow from the Select item area to the Flow map area, you see the Unit dialog box where you configure the settings necessary for executing the item.

As an example, the following figure shows the Unit dialog box when you put the Command execution standard item.

The following items are displayed:

Unit name area

Enter a unique name in the action flow.

No.	Displayed item name	Input format	Restrictions on the strings you can specify	Mandatory or optional	Default value
1	Unit name	Text box	A string from 1 to 45 bytes. You can specify half-width alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), and multibyte characters.	Mandatory	Item name

Note

Each character in the string you enter in the text box is counted differently in bytes depending on the character. For the conversion rate of the characters you enter into bytes, see C.2 Conversion rate of characters into bytes.

Conditions to execute item area

This area is used to specify whether or not the item is executed depending on the return value of the preceding unit.

No.	Displayed item name	Input format	Restrictions on the strings you can specify	Mandatory or optional	Default value
1	Unit name#	Text box	A string from 1 to 45 bytes. You can specify half-width alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), and multibyte characters.	Optional	None
2	(Condition)	Pull down	Select from either of equal to or not equal to.	Optional	equal to
3	Value	Text box	Specify a value from 0 to 4,294,967,295. The return value is treated as an unsigned 32-bit value. For example, if the application as the preceding unit ends with -1, the return value will be 4,294,967,295.	Optional	None

Note

Each character in the string you enter in the text box is counted differently in bytes depending on the character. For the conversion rate of the characters you enter into bytes, see C.2 Conversion rate of characters into bytes.

In the Unit name field, you can specify only the unit name for an action or event monitor, which is found in the flow map.

This area displays the input items for the item you put.

(2) Flow map tab

The Flow map tab allows you to set the order in which to execute the assigned actions.

The following figure shows the Flow map tab.

The following items are displayed:

Flow map area

This area allows you to select an action placed in the Flow map area and draw a relation line (arrow) from it to connect it with another action. This allows you to define the order in which to execute actions.

In addition, by right-clicking a relation line (arrow), you can change the connection method or delete the execution order definition.

You can change the connection method by defining the execution order of subsequent actions differently depending on how the preceding action ends (Ended normally vs. Ended with warning). For example, you can define that when action A is executed and ends normally, action B is executed, whereas when action A is executed and ends with a warning, action C is executed instead. In this case, you have to select Change connection method and Ended normally for the arrow extending from action A to action B, and Change connection method and Ended with warning for the arrow extending from action A to action C.
