ISM controls reference

An Intelligent Software Module (ISM) is an installable software package created with the ISM Development Kit (IDK). An ISM can contain control scripts that perform day-to-day, application-specific tasks such as starting software servers. For example, an ISM for Apache might contain control scripts that start and stop the HTTP server. For additional information about ISM Controls in Policies, see ISM controls in policies.

You can run control scripts in an ISM with the SA Client. To run the control scripts in an ISM, you must first add the ISM package to a software policy and then attach the software policy to a Managed Server.
