How to Configure the Nlserver Module Activity in Adobe Campaign Classic
The nlserver module activity is an Adobe Campaign Classic workflow action activity used to invoke an `nlserver` module from a workflow. Adobe Campaign includes the nlserver module workflow activity as an action activity.
What is nlserver module?
In Adobe Campaign, nlserver is the main server-side executable used to run and manage the platform’s functional modules and background processes. Each module performs a specific task—for example, web handles application requests and SOAP APIs, mta processes outbound deliveries, wfserver runs workflows and technical operations, stat controls delivery throughput, and inMail processes incoming messages and bounces. Administrators can start, stop, restart, or execute these modules from the operating-system command line, while the Nlserver module workflow activity can be used to run a selected nlserver command directly from an Adobe Campaign workflow.
Add the Activity to a Workflow
Open the workflow in Adobe Campaign Classic and place the Nlserver module activity at the point where the module invocation belongs.
Configure the activity using the module settings and accepted values documented for the module you need to invoke. Do not rely on assumed command-line syntax, module names, file paths, execution locations, or error behavior. Those details must match the documented configuration for the selected module and the Campaign environment.
Place the Activity in the Required Workflow Order
Put the activity after any workflow step that must occur before the module invocation and before workflow steps that rely on the intended module operation.

Validate the Module Configuration
Before deployment, verify the configured module values against the applicable Adobe Campaign module documentation and the settings approved for the target environment. Avoid copying a configuration from another workflow or environment without confirming that its module-specific values are valid.
Scope of the Activity
Use the Nlserver module activity for the documented module invocation it exposes in a workflow. Do not infer recipient-population handling, client-workstation execution, server-path resolution, transition timing, or failure handling from the activity name alone; those behaviors require module-specific documentation or verified environment procedures.
