Setting up the List services status action

1. Set up the action to collect the service status information. From the actions bar, select action Services, List services status and drag and drop the action to the script section (lower left) area of the project window. The script action is automatically selected and the properties section (lower right of project window) shows all the properties of this action. You need to setup the properties of this action one-by-one. By double-clicking each of the properties, you can specify the value of the selected property.
2. The most important properties of the List services status action are Computer and Services table. For Computer, specify the name of the variable created with previous action Set variable: %ComputerName%. The property Services table is by default configured as output variable %ServicesTable%. The green arrow shown with property Service table indicates that the value of the property is stored in an output variable. By double-clicking the property, you can setup the property.
   
   
   What happens when this action is executed: The UMRA software connects to the computer specified by %ComputerName% and collects the status of all of the services. The status information includes, the name of the service, the operational state of each service (running, stopped), type of service (automatic, manual, disabled) and so on. This information is stored as a table in variable %ServicesTable%. Note that the single variable will hold a table with multiple rows and columns. The variable is used in the other project.
