How to Specify and Store Actions
Actions tell the SSM engine what steps to take when:
- A resource state changes
- An action event occurs
- A global event occurs.
To specify actions, use the following guidelines:
- Use the table editor to insert action clauses into the ACTION_TEXT field. The field is type VARCHAR and can accept a maximum of 450 characters.
- Combine multiple clauses into a single ACTION_TEXT field by using a semicolon as a separator. If it is necessary to include a semicolon in a clause, enter two consecutive semicolons.
To store actions, use the following guidelines:
- Actions are always stored in the ACTION_TEXT field of an action table.
- Store actions for global events in the global action table. There is only one global action table, and it is referenced only during global events.
- Store actions for both the resource state changes and for process events in a resource action table. There can be multiple resource action tables.
