Defining Marker Actions

Markers can trigger events or to run any executable file that can be run from a command line. Before all markers are sent, the action they perform on the destination system must be defined.

To configure the marker definition:

  1. Open AIM Destination Manager.

  2. In the left pane, select the Aim Destination Manager element and choose Define Marker Action from the context menu.

  3. In the Define Marker Action dialog box, right-click in the empty area of the window and choose New Marker from the context menu.

  1. In the New Marker dialog box, enter the marker name. The marker is case sensitive and can be comprised of up to 15 characters and spaces.

  2. Select an Associated Activity:

    • Event – Enter an Event Name, defined in the user program, waiting to be signaled.

    • Console Application – Enter the path to the executable file or click Browse to locate one.

    CAUTION:  The console application will be run as a 32-bit application. If you configure a command line referencing a redirected folder, such as c:windowssystem32cmd.exe, the operating will actually end up executing c:windowssyswow64cmd.exe. In order to execute a 64-bit application in response to the marker, configure the command line as c:windowssysnativecmd.exe.

  1. Click OK in the New Marker dialog box. The custom marker appears in the Definition list.

  1. Click OK in the Define Marker Action dialog box.

Deleting a Marker

To delete a marker, select the marker from the Define Marker Action dialog box, and choose Delete from the context menu.

Editing a Marker

To edit a marker, double-click the marker to edit in the Define Marker Action window to open the New Marker dialog box. Make the changes and click OK to close the dialog box.
