State Change Exits

From the State Thresholds panel, press F8 (Forward) to scroll forward to the State Change Exits panel. This panel lets you specify the following types of exit processes:

• A process that executes before the service is started. By using this feature, you can add your own preactivation tasks to the internal service starting method.
• Processes that execute on specified state changes. For example, if a service fails, you can invoke a procedure that writes a problem report. You can specify a process to execute on changes to the actual state, the desired state, or the logical state of the service.

In a multisystem environment, you can specify whether the processes are executed in a specific region only or in all connected regions.
