5.17.3 Creating the definition files
This subsection describes the information to be defined in the definition file for opening monitor windows and the definition file for executing applications, explains their storage locations, and provides an example definition.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Creating a definition file for opening monitor windows
In the definition file for opening monitor windows, define information such as the ID and attributes of a JP1 event that is to open a monitor window.
The attributes of JP1 events must match the information in the definition file for the extended event attributes.
For details about the definition file for the extended event attributes, see Definition file for extended event attributes in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
Also specify in this definition file the window to be opened and the arguments to be used when the window is opened. To define the window to be opened, specify the application execution definition identifier. The application execution definition identifier is used by JP1/IM - View to identify a window defined in the definition file for opening monitor windows. Therefore, in the definition file for executing applications, you must specify the application execution definition identifier that is specified in the definition file for opening monitor windows. For the specified application execution definition identifier, the path is resolved by the definition file for executing applications. When the executable file is started, the arguments specified in the definition file for opening monitor windows are passed. For details about the definition file for opening monitor windows, see Definition file for opening monitor windows in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
JP1/IM provides the jcomonitorfcheck command for checking the definition file for opening monitor windows. For details about this command, see jcomonitorfcheck in Chapter 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
(2) Creating a definition file for executing applications
In the definition file for executing applications, define the relationship between an application execution definition identifier defined in the definition file for opening monitor windows and a path.
For details about the definition file for executing applications, see Definition file for executing applications in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
JP1/IM provides the jcoappexecfcheck (Windows only) command for checking the definition file for executing applications. For details about this command, see jcoappexecfcheck (Windows only) in Chapter 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
