Adding Actions to Agents

You can add one or more actions to an agent.

To add an action to an agent:

1. Edit the agent to which you want to add an action.

2. Click the "Agent editor: Actions tab".

3. Determine whether to add the action to the Agent Condition True or No Condition Exists area or the Agent Condition is False area as follows:

   • If there is no condition associated with the agent, or if there is a condition associated with the agent and you want the action to execute only if the condition evaluates to true, then use the Agent Condition True or No Condition Exists area

   • If there is a condition associated with the agent and you want the action to execute only if the condition evaluates to false, then use the Agent Condition is False area.

4. To create an action (that is, an inline action), then click the Add New Action button and specify the settings for the new action. For information, see "Specifying the Settings for New Actions".

5. To add an existing action (that is, a named action):

   1. Click the Add Existing Action button.

      The "Select Existing Action dialog" is displayed.

   2. Complete the Select Existing Action dialog.

      
      

      Note: You cannot add an existing action that navigates to related content (such as Navigate to BI Content) or an existing Invoke a Browser Script action to an agent.

      
      

      If there are parameters associated with the action, then the "Add Existing Action dialog" is displayed.

   3. Specify any required parameter values in the Add Existing Action dialog.

   4. Click OK.

6. (not available for Invoke Server Script actions, Invoke Agent actions, or actions for which one of the parameters is a result set mapping) Select the Invoke per Row option if you have specified a condition for the agent and want to execute the action for each row returned by the condition.

7. Click the Save this Agent toolbar button in the Agent editor to save the agent.
