3.32 Action Parameter Definitions window

The Action Parameter Definitions window lists the settings of automated actions.

To display the Action Parameter Definitions window, the user must have the JP1_Console_Admin permission. If the function for restricting reference permissions and operation permissions is enabled for business groups, this operation might not be performed depending on the combination of the JP1 resource group and permission level. For details, see 4.1.4(2) Assigning a JP1 resource group and permission level to a JP1 user in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

The settings of an automated action can be specified in the Action Parameter Detailed Definitions window, which is opened from the Action Parameter Definitions window.

The Action Parameter Definitions window appears when the version of the automated action definition file is 09-00 or later (DESC_VERSION is 3 or 4).

If the version of the automated action definition file is 11-10 or earlier (DESC_VERSION is 3), the Action Parameter Definitions window does not show the following items:

The edit icon indicating that the automated action definition has been edited
The Apply check box
The ID display area
The Retain the conditions for which the definition was not changed check box

If the version of the automated action definition file is 8 or earlier, the Action Parameter Definitions (for compatibility) window appears. For details about the Action Parameter Definitions (for compatibility) window, see Action Parameter Definitions (for compatibility) window.

The Action Parameter Definitions window and the Action Parameter Definitions (for compatibility) window are not displayed in the following cases:

The automated action definition file contains an error.
The size of an automated action definition parameter in the automated action definition file exceeds the maximum.
A rule startup request for JP1/IM - Rule Operation is defined in the automated action definition file when linkage with JP1/IM - Rule Operation is disabled.

If the Action Parameter Definitions window is not displayed because of an error in the automated action definition file, open the file with a text editor and correct the error. For details about the automated action definition parameters, see Automated action definition file (actdef.conf) in 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

The Action Parameter Definitions window is displayed when the user chooses Options from the menu bar of the Event Console window and then Automated Action Parameter Settings. The following figure shows an example of the Action Parameter Definitions window.

When linkage with JP1/IM - Rule Operation is enabled, the Type column is added to the list in the Action parameters area, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 3‒61: Action Parameter Definitions window (when linkage with JP1/IM - Rule Operation is enabled)

For details about setting up linkage with JP1/IM - Rule Operation, see 10.3.1 Settings for enabling the JP1/IM - Rule Operation linkage function in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

The following describes the items displayed in the Action Parameter Definitions window.

Status monitoring

Specifies whether to monitor the action status.

Apply: The action status is monitored.
Do not apply: The action status is not monitored.

The default is Do not apply.

If an action is in an abnormal status (Fail or Error) when the action status is monitored, a JP1 event is issued or a notification command is executed to report the abnormal status. The method for reporting the abnormal status must be specified in the automatic action notification definition file (actnotice.conf). For details about the automatic action notification definition file (actnotice.conf), see Automatic action notification definition file (actnotice.conf) in 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

The Action Log window, the List of Action Results window, or the Action Log Details window can be used to check the status of an action. Also, the Event Console window can be used to check whether an action is in an abnormal status.

Changes to the action status monitoring conditions affect only the actions executed after the change. For actions before the change, the settings before the change are used.

Action parameters

This area displays the list of the automated action definitions that have been set. The list displays the following items: [Figure] edit icon, Apply, ID, Group, Action name, Event ID, Type, Action, Target host, and Comment.

The priority of an automated action definition is based on the display order of the list. The definition displayed at the top of the list has the highest priority. For details about the priority, see 6.3.2 Precedence of execution conditions in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

A maximum of 1,000 automated actions can be registered. The AND condition specified for the automated action definition one line above is used.

For details about the AND condition, see 6.3.3 Parameter groups and AND condition in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

When this check box is selected and the Apply button is clicked, the suppression status and the status of satisfied conditions of the AND-joined conditions are initialized only when the action execution condition is edited. When this check box is cleared and the Apply button is clicked, the suppression status of all action execution conditions and the status of satisfied conditions of the AND-joined conditions are initialized.

Action Parameter Definitions (for compatibility) window

If the user uses the action definition file version 8 or earlier, the Action name column does not appear in the Action parameters area. To set up the action definition file for version 8 or earlier, the user must use the Action Parameter Definitions (for compatibility) window. The following figure shows an example of the Action Parameter Definitions (for compatibility) window.
