-
Wait for _ seconds: Wait the specified number of seconds before proceeding to the next action.

-
Working Directory
Click to specify the Java application’s working directory.
Specify the initial working directory for the application.
Priority
Click to specify the Java application’s priority.
Specify the priority of the process that runs the application. This option lets you configure how much of the CPU usage the application process consumes. Select from the following priorities: Real Time, High, Above Normal, Normal, Below Normal, and Low.
Run As
Click to specify the Java application’s settings.
-
System: Runs the application as the system account (as a service).
-
Administrator: Runs the application as a dynamic administrator user. A dynamic administrator is an administrator account that is created on the fly to perform certain procedures, such as installing applications or running scripts. Using a dynamic administrator is helpful when installing applications (some MSI applications, for example) that cannot be installed in the system space. When you select this action, the dynamic administrator is created, it performs the required tasks, and then the account is deleted.
NOTE:Performing this action as dynamic administrator on a Windows domain controller fails because Microsoft does not allow the use of local administrator accounts on domain controllers.
-
User: The application runs using the logged-in user’s credentials. For example, the application has the same rights to the registry and the file system as the logged-in user.
The following options are available for Linux:
-
Root: The application runs only if the root user is logged in to the device.
-
User: The application runs using the logged-in user’s credentials. For example, the application has the same rights to the registry and the file system as the logged-in user.
6.19.2 Requirements
The Requirements page lets you define specific requirements that a device must meet for the action to be enforced on it. For information about the requirements, see Requirements.
