Complete the following steps to create and launch an external application:
Create the external application. You do this outside of Operations Sentinel Console. Operations Sentinel provides sample external applications you can use or examine to get a better understanding of what you must do to create your own. You can also contact Unisys Operations Sentinel Technology Consulting Services personnel. Ask your local Unisys representative for more information.
If you create a script, store it in the data-folder\extapp-scripts folder on the desired Operations Sentinel server. This ensures that any external application you create is carried forward when installing a new level of Operations Sentinel.
Using Operations Sentinel Console, create a new launch definition using the External Application Wizard or copy an existing one.
Specify properties of the launch definition. At minimum, you must specify
Name
One or more of the following: Alert Applications, Main Menu Application, and Object Filter
Save the launch definition for use by all users of Operations Sentinel.
Note: You can test the launch definition before you save it. Once it is saved, it is available to all users.
Launch the external application from Operations Sentinel Console, when needed.
