Customizing Operations: General

Use the Customize dialogs to change the configuration settings of Console operations. All Customize Operation dialogs contain the General tab, which enables you to name the operation, enter a Comment for it and assign a Default host for the operation. Different operations contain different tabs, which enable you to customize the operation-specific settings.

To specify the General settings for an operation:

1    Right-click the operation and choose Customize from the shortcut menu. The Customize dialog for the operation is displayed with the General tab selected.

2    If you want to change the name that is displayed in the Console, enter a new name in the Operation name field. If you want to record extra information, such as how the operation works or when it should be used, enter the information in the Description field.

3    If you want to assign this operation to be run by a specific Scheduler when it is submitted as a job, select the Scheduler in the Default host list. If it is available, the specified Scheduler is automatically selected when you submit the job.

4    By default, the operation is displayed in the Console with the icon for the selected Operation Type. To select your own icon for the operation, type its location in the Icon Path field, or click Browse to search for it.

5    If you want the operation to stop when it encounters an error, such as an inaccessible Client, select Interactive operations stop processing on error.

6    If you want Vector AM to check that it has access to all selected Clients before running the operation, select Prompt on failed connection attempts.

7    Choose the default action for the operation. Select:

Left mouse click launches operation immediately to run the operation interactively.

Left mouse click submit operation as a job to schedule the operation to run automatically.

8    In the Select the folders in which the operation will appear list, select the Console folders from which you want to access this operation.

9    Click OK to close the dialog and save your changes, or select another tab to continue customizing the operation.
