Initializing Data

When SSM becomes active, it sets the CURRENT_STATE and DESIRED_STATE columns to the table-relative UNKNOWN state. An automation procedure must set the desired state values or no action will occur. The SSMBEGIN request rule is provided for this purpose. SSMBEGIN is automatically invoked at SSM initialization and whenever the mode (STATEMAN parameter) is upgraded from INACTIVE to PASSIVE or ACTIVE, or from PASSIVE to ACTIVE.
