NOTE:
The Timing will not affect the order in which custom actions run with other Active Upgrade tasks.
Use this option only if you want to ensure that one custom action runs before or after another
custom action.
Table 5- 5. Timing for the Advanced Control Type
Timing Purpose
Default Executes the custom action in the default, consecutive order.
Early Executes the custom action early in the list of custom actions, before items
marked as Default or Late.
Late Executes the custom action late in the list of custom actions, after items
marked as Early or Default.
Your custom actions will run consecutively according to their timing options. Subsequent custom
actions will not start until the current custom action terminates.
5. Click Add to accept the custom action. (If the Add button is inactive, ensure that you typed the
File path name and executable name correctly. The executable file must exist to be added.)
You can view the custom actions you have created at the bottom of the Custom Actions page. If
you want to remove a custom action from the list, select it and click Remove.
When you have finished specifying custom actions to run, or if you have no custom actions to
specify, you can click Next to proceed with the next configuration step.
