Executable file: If you have an executable file (for example, createTroubleTicket.exe), to create a trouble ticket with parameters –arg1, -arg2, and so on; configure the alert application launch as follows:

• Executable Name (with the full path): C:\temp\createTroubleTicket.exe
• Argument: -arg1 –arg2

When the alert action is triggered, it runs the command C:\temp\createTroubleTicket.exe –arg1 -arg2 to perform the associated application launch alert action.

Batch file: If you have a batch file (for example, createTroubleTicket.bat), to create a trouble ticket with parameters –arg1, -arg2, and so on, configure the alert application launch as follows:

• Executable Name (with the full path): C:\temp\createTroubleTicket.bat
• Argument: -arg1 –arg2

When the alert action is triggered, it runs the command C:\temp\createTroubleTicket.bat –arg1 -arg2 to perform the associated application launch alert action.

VB script: When configuring vb script files as an alert action, provide the executable and arguments as follows. For example, if you have a script (createTroubleTicket.vbs), to create a trouble ticket that contains one parameter arg1, configure the application launch as follows:

• Executable Name: cscript.exe or C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe (full path)
• Argument: C:\temp\createTroubleTicket.vbs arg1

When the alert action is triggered, it runs the command cscript.exe C:\temp\ createTroubleTicket.vbs arg1 to perform the associated application launch alert action.
