5.18.4 Creating the definition files

(a) Information to be defined

To define the window to be opened from the menu entry, specify the application execution definition identifier. The application execution definition identifier is used by JP1/IM - View to identify the window defined in the definition file for the Tool Launcher window. Therefore, in the definition file for executing applications, you must specify the application execution definition identifier that is specified in the definition file for the Tool Launcher window. For the specified application execution definition identifier, the path is resolved by the definition file for executing applications, so that the window can be opened from the menu entry. For details about the definition file for the Tool Launcher window, see Definition file for the Tool Launcher window in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference. 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 jcofuncfcheck (Windows only) command for checking the definition file for the Tool Launcher window. For details about this command, see jcofuncfcheck (Windows only) in Chapter 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

Store this file in the viewer's directory shown below. The definition takes effect when JP1/IM - View is restarted.
