This is the base class for all simple PolicyActions. A simple PolicyAction consists of a single Boolean clause, which is used to perform a single action. This consists of a single occurrence of a PolicyStatement, which is of the form:
{SET | CLEAR} PolicyVariable to PolicyValue
This is distinctly different from the PolicyActionVendor, which does not use a PolicyStatement.
PolicyActionAtomic objects can also be used to form more complex action structures. A PolicyActionComposite object can be used to contain a group of PolicyActionAtomic objects - this grouping enables multiple PolicyActionAtomic objects to be executed as a group. Alternatively, a PolicyActionAtomic object can contain one or more PolicyActionAtomic objects (and also PolicyActionComposite groups if desired) to provide the semantics of a compound PolicyAction. In either case, the aggregation is done using the containedPolicyActions aggregation.

actionSequenceNumber
Public
Integer
Notes:
This attribute is a non-negative integer and represents the particular sequence in which this element is executed as part of the overall policy structure. This will allow a policy engine to reference externally supplied arguments to this object as it is executed.
Notes: Not present in the ITU specs; CIM 2.7 has a subset of these values.
hasExecuted
Public
Integer
Notes:
This is an enumerated integer that is set by a policy application to define the state of execution of this policyAction.
Permited Values:
0: not yet executed
1: executed with no errors
2: executed with errors but successfully rolled back
3: executed with errors and did not roll back
4: did not complete execution but successfully rolled back
5: did not complete execution and did not roll back
Notes:
Not present in the ITU or CIM specs.
hasSubActions
Public
Boolean
Notes:
This is a Boolean attribute that, if TRUE, signifies that this PolicyAction has one or more sub-actions. Sub-actions are used to enforce a hierarchical nesting of actions, so that parent actions may control the evaluation and other semantics of the sub-actions that they contain.
