Hugo, I haven't seen this specific command documented anywhere in any official BMC Documents.
If you wanted to create and run your own external programs, you can write a Plugin for these. See Page 126 of the Integrating Guide as well as the C API Reference Guide for more information on using and writing Filter Plugins. There have been many postings about creating plugins for the AR Server on the list, so a good place to start any research would be the list archives.

You should see 2 Filters in your CMDB which contain this special Set Fields from $PROCESS$ command (From my memory I recall these execute at 100 and 600 as PHASE=1 and PHASE=2 respectively) These are responsible for taking all necessary actions to create / modify / delete a CI Instance in your CMDB, as well as validating that all actions are legal. Ultimately, wherever you make the change in the Data Model, this workflow will ensure that the information is physically propagated to the relevant Database Tables so that the CMDB can permanently store your change. You may get an error back from this process sometimes during a transaction if you are trying to do something which the CMDB determines as an illegal operation. There should not be any reason for you to change this Out of The Box workflow. If you want to create your own Filters in the CMDB, then make sure you have read and understood the CMDB Concepts and Best Practices Guide on this topic. Please advise if you need more info. Cheers Chris. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Francois - BTT Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: $PROCESS$ Application-Invoke-External-Filter bmc.cmdb.cmdbEngine PHASE=2 CLIENTTYPE=$CLIENT-TYPE$ Hi All, Can anybody describe this process used in some of the filters used by the CMDB.
