Configuring Timers › Add Timers › Timer Actions

Timer Actions

On the Timer Actions panel, you can specify what response is made when a scheduled timer item is triggered. You can specify the following:

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

  LOG TEST TIMER RULE EXECUTED
  

• 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: Send Warning Message

The TSO resource is defined to stop automatically at 1900 on weekdays. To warn users of the impending shutdown, you can define a timer that sends a warning message to the users at 1845 on the weekdays.
