Action Parameter

Use the action parameter to enter one to three possible actions to correct the problem. You must specify at least one alert action parameter.

The code points for action are similar to those for the alertdesc parameter. If you specify more than one action parameter, separate them with a semi-colon (;). You can mix and match the Xnnnn format with English word format. Valid words for action code points are as follows:

Word

Specifies this action...

PROBDETERMIN

Perform problem determination procedures

TAKEADUMP

Generate a dump

DUMP

Generate a dump

PERFPROBREC

Perform problem recovery procedures

PROBRCVY

REFERGUIDE

VARYOFF

CONTACTREP

RETRY

RESTARTJOB

If you need to specify an action different from those listed above, use the Xnnnn format. The SNA Formats Reference Guide describes the action code points. If you specify more then one action, put them in the order in which you want the operator or network manager to try to implement them.
