Configuring Custom Actions

Configuring Custom Actions

Use the Custom Actions page to customize the way that the Active Upgrade process runs in your environment. You can create custom actions to perform the following types of tasks:

•Specify how a critical application is stopped and started during the upgrade process.

For example, if you use special executable files to start and stop your applications, you can use the controls on the Custom Actions page to specify when these executable files will run during the upgrade process, and, if you have several files, you can specify the order in which they will run.

•Check if a certain condition exists before starting the upgrade process.

For example, you can write a program to verify that a critical backup has completed, if the load on the system is acceptable, or if it is a certain time of day before starting the upgrade process.

•Back up files during the upgrade process.

Any files that are modified on the Production Side system disks while the system is in split mode are lost during the commit process, when the RDR mirrors are resynchronized. If applicable, you can write a program to save copies of important files before you commit an upgrade. For example, you can save a copy of an application-specific log file that does not appear in the system Event Viewer. (For information about saving Event Viewer logs, see “Selecting Event Log Files to Back Up” on page 3-10.)

By default, the Custom Actions page supports executable files that are batch files (.bat), application files (.exe), or Visual Basic scripts (.vbs). For other types of executable files, see “Executing Visual Basic Scripts and Other Types of Executable Files” on page 3-18.

1.Custom actions run consecutively when called. If one action fails to terminate, it might prevent the next action from executing, and, ultimately, prevent the upgrade process from continuing. When you specify an executable file for a custom action, verify that it runs successfully outside of the Active Upgrade process, and ensure that it completes in a timely manner.
