The action service application invokes actions, such as
sending dashboard alerts or email notifications, when it receives
defined situation events emitted by IBM® Business Monitor and
other applications. Situation events typically indicate business situations
that need attention, such as a printer running out of paper or a metric
exceeding a certain value. In the four-cluster topology, the action
services application is deployed on the support cluster.
