Output Scan tab actions will be processed before the PostProcess tab actions.

Login info is required for the Output Scan even if the Windows or UNIX agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware).

For example:
The above task refers to two Filter objects. FILTER.OUTPUT searches for the word ERROR in an external file and FILTER.REPORT searches for a term that should be found in any case in the report. The report is searched first because the listShows entities in a grid view is processed from bottom to top.
The following table shows the possible effects in various situations:
The report does not include the expected term | The external file includes the word "ERROR" | Return code | Alarm object |
---|---|---|---|
![]() |
9 | ||
![]() |
5 | ALARM.CALL | |
![]() |
![]() |
9 | ALARM.CALL |
The Action area includes a table with filter definitions.
In this table, you can select one or several Filter objects whose conditions should be checked. You also define here whether a certain conditions must apply or not and the return codeThe value that represents the result of tasks and script functions. that the affected task should obtain. Optionally, you can also specify an object that should be executed.
Note that the entries will always be processed from bottom to top.
The first entry that applies is decisive for the task's return code. Successive conditions that apply do not affect the return code. The optional object is executed in each line in which the condition applies.
Note that filter definitions are checked at runtimeThe duration of a task's execution. It refers to the period between a task's start and end. It does not include its activation period (see also: activation and start).. For example, a task obtains the status FAULT_POST_PROCESSING if the Filter object you indicate searches a report that does not exist in the task.
