An action is a procedure that is dispatched when ENS is passed an event for which there is a matching filter record. The action then performs the task it was designed to do, such as notifying you of an event occurring on a specified serviced system.
A set of actions is supplied with Console Manager and already in the default database. See Chapter 14, “Supplied Action Routines,” for more information. You may use these if you wish.
Note: If the supplied actions do not fulfill your requirements, you can write your own and then add them to the configuration database. See the chapter Create Your Own Action Routines.
A copy of the default set of Console Manager action definitions supplied with Console Manager is in:
CONSOLE$TEMPLATES:CONSOLE$CONFIG.PORT
These definitions are automatically loaded into the default configuration database at installation time. They reference the following procedures:
These procedures are stored in one of two directories - one is reserved for use by Console Manager, and the other for user-defined actions. The two directories are linked via the logical name CONSOLE$ACTIONS. Place any actions you create in CONSOLE$USER_ACTIONS:. This directory is searched first by the ENS daemon for actions.
