To Upload a Post-action or a Pre-action from a Managed Host

If you selected Managed Host, follow this procedure.

1. Click the Select Host button of the Host Name field.

   The Host Selection window opens.

2. Select the managed host that has the file, and click OK.

   The Host Selection window closes. The host name appears in the Host Name field of the Add Pre Action or Add Post Action window.

3. In the File Name field, type the full path name of the file.

4. Click Apply.

   The Status column indicates when the upload is done. Click Close to close the window, or Reset to add more.

Example 5–3 Uploading a Post-action or a Pre-action with the CLI

The Add Target Local command is the same for Pre-actions, Post-actions, Configuration files, Macros, and Probes. The following syntax is for Pre-actions and Post-actions. The -tP parameter is for Pre-actions; -tS is for Post-actions. The example script adds a Post-action.

In the CLI syntax, a category under the default Local categories is mandatory. See the procedure: Example 5–1 on for the Add Local Category CLI command. See Add Target Local (-atl) Command.
