Executing Custom-Based Operations on Managed Resources
To execute custom-based operations on managed resources, perform the following steps:
1. Open a running session, right-click one or more resources, and select Custom Operation > <select an
operation name>; see Figure 12-57.
Figure 12-57 Custom Operation Menu—Managed Resources
An example of a custom operation dialog box displays. The list of parameters and operations change,
depending on the resource Resource Adapter. The Operation pull-down menu is pre-filled and a list of
associated properties display.
2. Optional. Specify the following values for those properties:
• Name—By default is available by the Resource Adapter.
• Value—The default value (if available) displays.
• Mandatory—If true, then the value must be provided.
3. In the Execution Properties section, enter the number of times to run this operation. The default value
is 1.
4. Click the Execute Sequentially check box to enable it. If it is disabled (not checked), all executions are
performed in parallel.
5. Click OK.
6. Open the Custom Operations view (on the Active System Manager menu bar, click Window > Show
View > Other > Active System Manager > Custom Operations > OK.) to display custom view
operation results; see Figure 12-58 for an example.
Note For this to function properly, you must have an open, running session.
