clarification on code

[Gagan S N]

Hello team, 

Please check the below code

:READ &uc_ex_host,,

:PSET &AGENT# = &uc_ex_host

:set &status# = get_var(VARA.AGENTMONITOR,"Status")

 

:WAIT 30

:SET &ALIVE# = SYS_HOST_ALIVE(&AGENT#)

 

:if &status# = "On"

:IF &ALIVE# NE 'Y'

:  SET &ACT# = ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT(CALL.UC_EXECUTOR_END_DEMO,,,,,PASS_VALUES)

:ENDIF

:ENDIF

In the above code what does the line :set &status# = get_var(VARA.AGENTMONITOR,"Status")
And the line :SET &ALIVE# = SYS_HOST_ALIVE(&AGENT#) is doing? 

As per my knowledge both are using fetching the status of the agent.
So, can I remove any one of the above codes?
Can you please tell me if both line are required.

Thanks,
Gagan S N

Hi,

it looks like this is a SCRI object which gets triggered from UC_HOSTCHAR_DEFAULT / EXECUTE_ON_END / LOST.

SYS_HOST_ALIVE checks the whether the Agent is alive - I'm attaching the link for your reference:

https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AA/24.2/DOCU/24.2/Automic%20Automation%20Guides/Content/Script/Reference/SYS_HOST_ALIVE.htm

get_var reads a value from a VARA object by the key "Status". However I cannot tell you how that value gets updated in that VARA object, since it is not a VARA object that is delivered with Automic, it has been created specifically in your environment.

Please check if there are any other scripts that are updating that VARA object to find out whether this is required anymore or not.

Regards, Markus
