Service Control Mgr web-launch tool

[Gregory Heil]

Is there a way that I can create a web-launch tool with SCm that will open one browser window per selected node. It works with the ssa-command tool, launching multiple X-window sessions.

Here's a quick and dirty web-launch that starts the Samba web admin tool. In it's present form, it does open a new window, but only for one host.

anyname



Any hints, etc would be appreciated

Hello Gregory,

Do have a look at this page. All you wanted to know about SCM should be available from this page.

Hope this helps.

I havn't read the entire manual but I've read much of it and I don't believe this is possible. Doing what your are talking about could open potentially hundreds of windows. Not only would this suck bandwidth but it would also make administration difficult with keeping track of what window was what. for tools that display a GUI it's better to treat them like SSA (single system aware) tools. run one at a time.

Thanks for the input. You can limit the number of browsers that could open with the "max targets" command. Which is important when you use the ssa tool type with X-windows.

I've been through the manuals and all of the online examples. Actually, when I looked at one of the online examples is when I found the "anyname" entry. This allows the tool's browser to open in a new window. However, this is not documented anywhere in the HP docs that I can find. It must be XML "stuff", which I really don't know anything about. So I was thinking that there might be other "undocumented by HP" XML-type commands that might let me get there.
