When a rule is violated, you can have Optimize trigger a Web service action. For example, suppose that you defined a rule to determine when an adapter goes offline. Also suppose that the Integration Server on which the adapter is running contains a service that attempts to restart adapters. You can define an action that, when the adapter rule is violated, invokes a Web service that executes the Integration Server service to restart the adapter.

You can also provide optional authentication parameters for the web service action by specifying a user login and encrypted password.
