Add Custom Applications and System Parameters

You can add applications and parameters can to the Environment Management system. Only batch system-compatible applications work properly within the environment system. You cannot enter and run standard operating system applications. This section describes how to add previously created applications to the environment system. Creating compatible applications is beyond the scope of this documentation.

To add a user-defined application

1. On the Add Applications dialog box, click Other. The User Defined Applications dialog box appears.

   

2. Type a Name (16 characters maximum), Type, Parameters, (optional), and select Client Of and Server To designations (optional).

   Note: The Name must be unique from all other applications in the environment. If the Name is not unique, the environment database might become corrupted.

3. Select a Type from the list.

The Client Of and Server To selections define the list item location in the Add Applications list. The selection of this location is important since the custom application also appears in the Runtime Applications Display dialog box. The order that the applications are listed is essential for proper batch system operation. Editors do not appear in the Runtime Application Display dialog box and are placed at the end of the Applications list in the Add Applications dialog box.
