7.2.7 ADDING A CLIENT PROGRAM TO BE STARTED FOR THE NEW SERVICE
Clients are local applications that may be launched when a related service is clicked. To add to the pool of client programs:
Select Edit > Preferences.
FIGURE 7-13. EDIT PORT REDIRECTION, ADVANCED TAB
Click the Client tab.
Click Add.
Enter a Client name.
Enter the Path to the client executable file or click Browse to locate the client application.
Enter a Command line format for client executable associated with launching the client.
SDT Connector typically launches a client using command line arguments to point it at the local endpoint of the redirection. Three
keywords specify the command line format. When launching the client, SDT Connector substitutes these keywords with appropriate
values.
