Controller 23.2

# Command

The action that you want to schedule, in the form of an XML string.

The XML that you specify must have an `<action>` parent tag. The following table describes the attributes that you can use in the `action` tag to specify the action to schedule.

Attribute name | Required | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Action` | Yes | The name of the action to run in the schedule.
`Type` | Yes | The type of action (`ACIAction` or `IndexAction`).
`Host` | Yes | The host of the service to send the action to.
`Port` | Yes | The port to send the action to.
`FirstParam` | No | (Index actions only) The value of the parameter to list directly after the index action name (for example, the backup directory in the `DREBACKUP` index action).
`SSLSectionName` | No | The configuration section in the Controller configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use for the connection to the child service (see Secure Socket Layer Parameters).
`GSSServiceName` | No | The GSS service name of the child service. If you set this attribute, you must set the `Host` attribute to a fully qualified domain name (that is, for GSS authentication you cannot use `localhost`, an IP address, or a host without the domain name, even if these values resolve to the correct server).

The `<action>` tag can contain one or more `<params>` tags. The following table describes the attributes that you can use in the `params` tag to specify parameters to add to the action.

Attribute name | Required | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Name` | Yes | The name of the parameter.
`Value` | Yes | The value of the parameter.

The following XML examples show the XML for sending a `GetStatus` ACI action and a `DREBACKUP` index action.

    <action action="getstatus" type="aciAction" host="localhost" port="5012" sslSectionName="contentssl">
       <params name="responseFormat" value="json"/>
       <params name="maxresults" value="2"/>
    </action>

    <action action="DREBACKUP" type="indexAction" firstparam="backup" host="localhost" port="5013" gssServiceName="CONTENT">
       <params name="format" value="html"/>
    </action>
