trouble ticket with parameters –arg1, -arg2, and so
on; configure the alert application launch as
follows:
Executable Name (with the full path): C:\temp
\createTroubleTicket.exe

When the alert action is triggered, it runs the
command C:\temp\createTroubleTicket.exe –arg1
-arg2 to perform the associated application launch
alert action.

createTroubleTicket.bat), to create a trouble ticket

the alert application launch as follows:
Executable Name (with the full path): C:\temp
\createTroubleTicket.bat
Argument: -arg1 –arg2

VB script: When configuring vb script files as an
alert action, provide the executable and arguments
as follows. For example, if you have a script
(createTroubleTicket.vbs), to create a trouble ticket
that contains one parameter arg1, configure the
application launch as follows:
Executable Name: cscript.exe or C:\Windows
\System32\cscript.exe (full path)
Argument: C:\temp\createTroubleTicket.vbs

When the alert action is triggered, it runs the
command cscript.exe C:\temp\
createTroubleTicket.vbs arg1 to perform the
associated application launch alert action.
