Updating a topology on a different DASH page

You can add a right-click menu item to the Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI event list, which you can use to update a Topology Viewer that is on a different DASH page from the event list.

1. As a user with the Web GUI admin role, log into your DASH web application.
2. Open the Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI tool configuration page: Administration > Event Management Tools > Tool Configuration
3. Create a new Script tool, with a script command similar to the following example:

   The 'NavigationNode' value must be the Page Unique Name for the DASH page that you want to launch. In this example it is the unique name of the out-of-the-box Topology Viewer page.

   var eventPayload = {
       "name": "http://ibm.com/isclite#launchPage", 
       "NavigationNode": "web.netcool.asm.topologyViewer.page", 
       "switchPage": "true",
       "payload": {
           "product": { 
               "AgileServiceManager": { 
                   "resourceName": "{@Node}",
                   "hops": "3",
                   "layoutType": "4",
                   "layoutOrientation": "TopToBottom"
               } 
           }
       } 
   };
   {$param.portletNamespace}sendPortletEvent(eventPayload);

4. Open the Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI menu configuration page: Administration > Event Management Tools > Menu Configuration
