To configure a custom action
1. On the Custom Actions page, do one of the following:
•
In the File field, type the full path name and file name of the executable file you want to
run. (The file must already exist on the system.)
Example: C:\bin\mybatchfile.bat
•
Click Browse to select the executable file, and click Open.
2. Next to Arguments, type any arguments that you need to run with your executable.
No arguments are required; however, see "Programming Notes for Custom Actions" on page
5-141 for information about passing optional Active Upgrade environment variables to your
executable.
3. In the drop-down list for Control type, select the option that best describes when the Active
Upgrade Console will execute your custom action, as discussed in the below table.
Control Types for Custom Actions
Control Type
Start Application
Stop Application
Readiness Check
Purpose
Executes the custom action whenever the Active Upgrade Console needs
to start applications. For example, the console needs to restart
applications on the Upgrade Side when you merge the system.
Executes the custom action whenever the Active Upgrade Console needs
to stop applications. For example, the console needs to stop applications
on the Upgrade Side when you split the system. It also stops applications
on the Production Side when you merge the system.
Executes the custom action once during the readiness check, before you
initiate the Active Upgrade process. This control type allows you to build
your own verifications into the readiness check.
