    The File List window closes and the window under the Deployment Directories tab in the Launcher Administration application reappears.

Removing a Launcher process

  2. Click Remove in the view under the Properties tab.

    The Launcher process is removed from the list.

    Before you can remove a Launcher process, you must first stop its execution.

Adding .msl system files to a Launcher process

  1. In the File List window, click the Launcher process to which you want to add .msl system files.
  2. Click Add Files... in the Select additional files... view under the Files... tab.

    The Select window opens.

Deleting .msl system files from a Launcher process

  1. In the File List window, click the Launcher process from which you want to delete .msl system files.
  2. Click in the main pane of the Select additional files... view on the specific .msl system file you want to delete.
  3. Click Delete files... in the Select additional files... view under the Files... tab.

    The .msl system file is removed from the list.

    The .msl system file that appears in the File Name property, acting as a control file, defines the main Launcher process. As such, you cannot delete it as described in this procedure, which is only for the additional Launcher system files.

    To delete the main Launcher .msl system file, you would have to remove the Launcher process entirely.
