notifications. In this window, you can select a Notification to edit, or click Create to open the Create

Specify Action for Undo
With one exception, you can undo actions that have been applied. The exception can occur when two actions
are defined within a rule: a standard ASM action and a custom action. If the standard ASM action fails, the
custom action will be applied and, if successful, cannot be undone. Under these circumstances, your custom
action should be configured to take into account the potential failure of the standard ASM action.
Time before Undo
This setting determines whether the action will be Permanent or set to a time span of Minutes,
Hours as defined in the associated field. Permanent means that ASM will not automatically undo the
action after a certain time interval, but it can still be manually undone.
Undo Action
This field shows an Undo Action that corresponds to the Action previously selected/applied to a port.
It cannot be edited.
Custom Undo
Check Custom Undo and click Edit if you want to specify an action that will be taken when an
action is undone. This opens the Specify Program for Undo window where you can select a program
to be executed.. This doesn't alter the Undo Action. The Custom Undo is executed in addition to the
