The launch-in-context feature opens a console for an external application that
takes you directly to information that is relevant to your work within the system.
You use the Launch in Context application to create and update launch entries. A
launch entry defines a URL that opens a console for an external application. The
launch entry can pass data, referred to as context, from the application to the
external console.
You can configure a console URL for any application with a Web-based console,
such as the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager or the IBM Tivoli Configuration
Manager. Additionally, you can configure console URLs for consoles that use
Java™ Web Start, such as Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager.
You cannot use a launch entry to open applications that are not enabled for the
Web.
You can configure a launch point from any system application. Launch points
include Select Action menu items, hyperlinks, and buttons. Some special launch-
in-context capabilities are specific to the operational management product
navigations, such as navigations to the Tivoli Provisioning Manager or the Tivoli
Configuration Manager.
