Launch application

Use the launch application feature to write and save definitions that start applications on your computer. For example, using single sign-on in the browser client or Java Web Start client, you can launch into another participating Tivoli web application.

A launch definition can include arguments that are passed to the application when it is started. The definition can be an operating system command or URL, and can include arguments. A simple example is opening a specific text file in a text editor. And another example is opening your browser to access the RMF Monitor III Portal.

You can launch an application by creating a definition right when you need it or by selecting from a list of existing definitions. Some monitoring products provide predefined launch definitions. You can customize those definitions or use the launch application feature to build a set of command definitions for yourself or for all users in your monitored environment.

The Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal single sign-on (SSO) feature enables you to launch out of the portal into other Tivoli web-based or web-enabled applications without having to re-enter your user credentials. From the portal browser client or Java Web Start client, you can launch into another participating Tivoli web application.
