Actions to Take in Response to Messages

Important! Do not capture a WTO message and then, using a process or other means, reissue the same WTO message. Reissuing a captured WTO message causes a loop.

On the Message Actions panel, you can specify what response is made to a message. Apart from reply text, you can specify the following:

• System command text, such as: START STC1.
• OCS Command text, such as:

  LOG TEST MSG1 ENCOUNTERED-WORD5=&ZMSGWORD5

• A process selected from the list of valid processes—enter a question mark in the field to display a list of valid processes.
• An Automation Services command selected from the list of valid commands—enter a question mark in the field to display a list of valid commands.

Example: Load System Image on Rule Trigger

This example loads a new system image in the local region when the rule is triggered.
