Keywords Are Rule-Dependent

The iSeries keyword values are generated when an iSeries Rule is executed in the Argent Guardian Ultra or the Argent Data Consolidator, but not every keyword is available when an iSeries Rule is broken

It all depends on the definition of the iSeries Rule. The next section lists the keywords available with each type of iSeries Rule

If a selected iSeries keyword is not available for a particular Rule, the iSeries Command is not executed and the Argent Console service log will contain an entry like this:

AS400 command ‘%s’ could not be executed. Reason: Not all keywords are replaced successfully
