Running actions on an inventory

 

You might have applications installed that define actions that you can run against the collected inventory. If you have installed an application program that offers an action, you will see that action in the Available actions list in the Run Actions window.

To see the Run Actions window, right-click any system in the iSeries™ Navigator window, select Inventory, and then select Run Actions.

When you select an action from the Available actions list, a list of related inventories is shown under Inventory for selected action. You should select all the recommended inventories and then click Add to add this information to the Selected actions to run list.

For example, if you have installed the IBM^® Electronic Service Agent™ option of i5/OS™, you can select Send Electronic Service Agent inventory to IBM from the Available actions list to receive your inventory data in a series of reports that show your system's growth and maintenance.
