Syntax

<WriteAction ID=”ModuleID” Comment=”Comment” TypeID=”ModuleTypeID”>
Custom Schema Defined Parameters
</WriteAction>

Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and the parent element of the WriteAction element.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
ID	Required attribute. Represents the identity of the element.
Comment	Optional attribute. Represents commentary by the management pack author.
TypeID	Required attribute. Represents the WriteAction module type definition from which this WriteAction module inherits its configuration schema.

ID Attribute Values

Value	Description
The format for the ID attribute should be UniqueElementID.	The ID string must contain the following characteristics: The length is less than 255 characters. The ID begins with a letter (a-z) or a number (0-9). The ID contains only letters, numbers, the period character (.), or the underscore (_) character. The ID is unique across all elements within the scope of the WriteAction module’s containing workflow. The ID is case-sensitive.

Child Elements

The child element of the WriteAction module is defined by the configuration schema of its base type as referenced in the TypeID attribute.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
WriteActions	Contains one or more write action modules.

Remarks

A WriteAction module takes a single input data stream. It uses this data stream, perhaps in conjunction with some kind of condition detection, to affect system state in some way, such as within a workflow.

A write action module’s base type must always be a descendant of a WriteActionModuleType type.

Example

The following XML sample demonstrates a rule which contains a write action module that runs a Windows Foundation Workflow.

<Rule ID="Microsoft.SystemCenter.MonitoringHostKeepAlive" Enabled="true" Target="Microsoft.SystemCenter.MonitoringHostKeepAlive.Workflows.WorkflowTarget" ConfirmDelivery="true" Remotable="true" Priority="Normal" DiscardLevel="100">
  <Category>System</Category>
  <DataSources>
    <DataSource ID="DS" TypeID="System!System.Scheduler">
      <Scheduler>
        <SimpleReccuringSchedule>
          <Interval Unit="Minutes">120</Interval>
        </SimpleReccuringSchedule>
        <ExcludeDates />
      </Scheduler>
    </DataSource>
  </DataSources>
  <WriteActions>
    <WriteAction ID="WindowsWorkflow" TypeID="Subscriptions!Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.SystemCenter.Subscription.WindowsWorkflowTaskWriteAction">
      <Subscription>
        <WindowsWorkflowConfiguration>
          <AssemblyName>Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.SystemCenter.MonitoringHostKeepAlive.Workflows</AssemblyName>
          <WorkflowTypeName>Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.SystemCenter.MonitoringHostKeepAlive.Workflows.MonitoringHostKeepAliveWorkflow</WorkflowTypeName>
          <WorkflowParameters>
            <WorkflowParameter Name="TimeoutInMinutes" Type="int">110</WorkflowParameter>
          </WorkflowParameters>
          <RetryExceptions></RetryExceptions>
          <RetryDelaySeconds>11</RetryDelaySeconds>
          <MaximumRunningTimeSeconds>7200</MaximumRunningTimeSeconds>
        </WindowsWorkflowConfiguration>
      </Subscription>
    </WriteAction>
  </WriteActions>
</Rule>
