The Action Script Language
The scope of the Action Script language is to issue commands, named actions, from within Fixlets and tasks on relevant clients to fix the problem identified by the Applicability Relevance clause.
In a Fixlet or task message you can specify an action script including one or more actions. These actions will be run in sequence on relevant clients when the console operator clicks Take action in the Fixlet or in the task entry on the BigFix console. If an action fails running, the subsequent actions will not run and the processing will stop. For this reason, it is very important to use error prevention methods in action scripts.
One of the biggest strengths of the Action Script language is the ability to use relevance language expressions to implement variables within actions. This ability, named substitution, allows you to customize an action for each specific agent where the action runs, for example, by resolving the local installation path of a proprietary application.
