Action detail notes

This topic describes the Action detail notes.

  • os_command— The os_command action executes a program on the operator's desktop. This is similar to the 'Run a desktop application' action that may be added to items in explorer tress or dashboards.
  • browser — The browser action launches a browser on the operator's desktop. The browser launched is based on the default browser configured on the operator's desktop system. On Microsoft Windows, the URI handler is used to determine the application to be used. For example, if the URI 'sip:user@example.com' is specified, Microsoft Lync might be invoked to start a chat session.

  • start_tn3270emulator— The start_tn3270emulator action launches a built-in terminal emulator. The connection parameters are given as part of the action string with each parameter separated by a comma. The general form of a connection string is:model,host,luname,port,ssl,displayName
