Fields on the SSM Resource Action Selection Panel

The fields of the SSM Resource Action Selection panel are as follows:

Wait

Displays the maximum number of seconds to wait for a cross-system response (1‑300).

Resource Table

Displays the name of the SSM resource table that contains the resource name that is being used for the simulation. Enter a '?' in this field to select a new resource table or type in a resource table name.

Ver

Displays the highest version of SSM met by the resource table's column structure.

Action Table

Displays the name of the action table used to simulate action selection for the resource. Enter a '?' in this field to select a new action table or type in an action table name.

Ver

Displays the highest version of SSM met by the action table's column structure.

State Names

Displays the names of the up, down, and unknown states of the associated resource table when it is active in SSM. If the table is already active, these values are set to the SSM directory table values. Otherwise they default to UP, DOWN, and UNKNOWN. Change the values at anytime by typing in new values.

Resource Name

Displays the name of the SSM resource that exists in the resource table specified. Enter a '?' in this field to select a new resource or type in a resource name.

Type

Displays the value of the optional SSM type column for the resource, if it exists. Enter a new value by overtyping this field.

Process

Displays the SSM process event name to simulate or blank. When blank, any process name that could be selected if a valid process name was supplied is displayed but no action selection arrow is displayed.

Current

Displays the current state value of the resource or blank.

Desired

Displays the desired state value of the resource or blank.

Actmode

Displays the action mode value of the resource or blank.

Resource Table

Displays the required SSM resource table name for the specific action you can select. When blank, this value is always set to the resource table name. This insures that any table name specific action is always selected over a more generic action with no table name affinity. Start and stop commands are the most common table name specific actions.

Resource Name/Type

Displays the SSM resource name or optional type column value for the most specific action to be selected. When blank, this value is always set to the resource name. This insures that any resource name or type specific action will always be selected over a more generic action with no resource or type name affinity. Start and stop commands are the most common resource name and type specific actions.

The tabular portion of the display shows all actions that were considered for selection based on the values entered for the process name and resource states. The action table key values and action text are displayed for each action that was considered for selection. If the resource data was sufficiently complete to select a specific action for execution, a highlighted arrow, '==>', appears next to action text of the selected action. A specific selected action must always match on process name. If the process name is ACTION, the current state must also match the resource value.
