Creating a tool for launch-in-context from IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Event Viewer
To use a launch-in-context tool, you must add it to the list of available IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus tools by using the Tool Configuration option within the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI. You must then add the tool to the list of tools that appear on the pop-up menu in the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Event Viewer by using the Menu Configuration option.
Complete the steps in the following procedure to create the tool for launch-in-context from selected events in the Event Viewer.
