Configuring the launch feature

You use the command-line interface to maintain the launch points (insert, update, and remove operations). The available launch points are predefined by OMEGAMON® for Storage on z/OS®. Perform the following steps to configure the ability to launch IBM® TotalStorage Productivity Center in OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS:

  1. Access a command-line interface.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the command is stored. By default the command is stored in the following path: C:\IBM\ITM\CNP\
  3. Run the KS3LaunchConfig command to insert, change, or remove target points for the launch feature.
    Note: Before you run the KS3LaunchConfig command you must navigate in the command line interface to the directory where the command is stored. By default the command is stored in the following path: C:\IBM\ITM\CNP\.
    • To add a new launch target use the following flags:
      KS3LaunchConfig -insert -loc=LOCATION -url=URL
      where,
      • LOCATION is the local path of the browser application that you use to access the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center. For example, the entry for Microsoft Internet Explorer might be "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe".
      • URL is the URL of the browser page for IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center.
        Note: If the LOCATION parameter or the URL parameter contains embedded blank spaces, you must enclose the parameter in quotation marks.
    • To make a change or add a launch target use the following flags:
      KS3LaunchConfig -change -loc=LOCATION -url=URL
      where,
      • LOCATION is the local path of the browser application that you use to access the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center. For example, the entry Microsoft Internet Explorer might be "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe".
      • URL is the URL of the browser page for IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center.
        Note: If the LOCATION parameter or the URL parameter contains embedded blank spaces, you must enclose the parameter in quotation marks.
    • To remove all of the launch target points that were created by this command use the following flags:
