Performing Network Operations and Actions
Network Operations and Actions are used to communicate with multiple Hawk agents at one time.
Network Operation
Using a network operation you can invoke a microagent method, of type IMPACT_INFO that returns information but does not perform any action, on multiple Hawk agents at the same time.
1. | Select one or more microagent and click the Network Operation button. This takes you to the Network Operation pane which lists the available methods. |
2. | Select a method and provide any necessary input parameters and click Perform Operation. |
The results are displayed in the Success tab and are sorted by the microagent name. The Timeout tab lists any agent that did not respond, usually due to a network problem.
Network Action
Using a network action, you can invoke a microagent method, of type IMPACT_ACTION
or IMPACT_ACTION_INFO
, that performs an action, on multiple Hawk agents at the same time.
The procedure of invoking a network action is similar to invoking a network operation.
