Configuring Custom Actions
Configuring the Active Upgrade Process 3-13
2. Executable files for custom actions must be located
on a system disk. If a executable file is located on an
external or network disk, the Upgrade Side loses
access to the file while the system is in split mode.
3. For information about writing your own programs for
custom actions, see “Programming Notes for Custom
Actions” on page 3-15 .
To configure a custom action
1. On the Custom Actions page, do one of the following:
•
Next to File , type the full path name and file name of the executable file you
want to run. (The file must already exist on the system.) For example:
C:\bin\mybatchfile.bat
•
Click Browse to locate the executable file using a file browser. Click the file
name in the file browser, then click Open to select the file.
2. Next to Arguments , type any arguments that you need to run with your executable
file.
No arguments are required; however, see “Programming Notes for Custom
Actions” on page 3-15 for information about optionally passing Active Upgrade
environment variables to your executable file.
3. In the drop-down list for Control type , select the option that best describes when
the Active Upgrade console should execute your custom action, as described in
Table 3-3 .
Table 3-3. Control Types for Custom Actions
Control Type Purpose
Start Application 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.
Stop Application 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.
Readiness Check 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.
