Sample web launch tool

A web launch tool launches an application requiring a URL. The example below la

unches the

application “WebJetAdmin” for a device selected within the HP SIM window as long as that device is

a printer. The

<web

block>

element (in bold below) provides the URL of the managed

system

where WebJetAdmin is installed. The parameter

is use

d to substitute the managed

system

host

name. The <toolbox

enabled> element can have a value of true or false. If the <toolbox

enabled>

element is true, it will be associated with the Toolboxes under HP SIM User and Authorization. This

enables

a trusted

user to disable the tool in the Toolbox if the value is false. Refer to

Appendix B

for

additional parameters. This tool launches in a separate browser window using the “target

frame” of

WJAFrame.
