# SendAction

The `SendAction` action enables you to send an ACI, index, or service action to a specified service port.

Tip: You do not need to include `action=` or `a=` for ACI or service actions.

You can send data as an HTTP POST request or as multipart data; posted data is then forwarded to the correct child engines.

Note: Because of re-encoding, uploads might be become larger when forwarded. This means that you might have to increase the value of the MaxFileUploadSize parameter for the child engine by up to 33%.

## Example

`a=SendAction&Port=9000&Command=query%26text%3d*`

`a=SendAction&Port=9000&Type=index&Command=DRERESET`

`a=SendAction&Port=9000&Type=service&Command=GetStatistics`

## Parameters

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
Command | The command to send to the server. | Yes
Port | The port number of the service. | Yes
Type | The type of action to send. |

You can also submit this action from Coordinator by specifying the `ControllerUUID` parameter. For more information, refer to the IDOL Site Admin Coordinator Reference.
