Defining Actions
Overview of Actions
Every event must have a defined action. When an event occurs (file drop, serial port
communication, email or TCP/IP communication) the trigger actions tell the middleware
integration server what to do. Actions include commands like the following:
• "open the label"
• "set the variable on the label to some value"
• "select printer for printing"
• "print the required amount of labels"
If an action cannot be executed, the application records an error description in the log file
that helps to identify and resolve the problem.
