You must create an action plan , then associatate an event filter ( the event you want actioned). From Tasks panel in
right click on Add a message to Console Ticker Tape to create the ticket tape message you want to. Drag that onto the event fileter you created for the event action plan. Then in order to run a program you must select one Run a program on a server , or run a program on the event server or Run a Taks on a server. On of these will allow you to Kick of a bat or script file of some sort toallow you to pull down an image.Hope this helps.

This is no small task and more than could possibly be described in this venue. It's an entire WhitePaper! It is possible and very good under the right circumstances. A project like this is worth the money to pay for IBM Director support to provide you guidance, with a more conprehensive understanding of your specific environment.
