When defining remote actions, you might need to configure values in the following properties files that reside on the BMC ProactiveNet server:
..\conf\jserver.properties
..\conf\resources\centraladmin-strings.properties
..\conf\resources\remoteexecution.properties
If you modify any of the above listed .properties files, restart the BMC ProactiveNet server.
jserver.properties
The jserver.properties file specifies the event slot names, key name values, and other configuration items of remote execution under the text properties for remote execution.
