The fully composed TDEF for a SSA copy tool to deploy the HP Security Patch to a managed
node and then execute, should display as follows:
10. Save the file. HP recommends using a file name that indicates its function, in this
case,DeployHPSecurityPatchv.1.xml Make sure that the file name ends with the .XML
extension. Note that file names on Linux and HP-UX operating systems are case-sensitive. The
directory used by HP SIM to store tools is as follows:
• for HP-UX and Linux systems: /var/opt/mx/tools
• for Windows systems: C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\tools
11. To add the new tool to HP SIM, perform the procedure described in the section “Adding a
TDEF to HP SIM”.
For more information about specific SSA tool attributes, see “SSA-specific attributes”.
Example Web launch tool
A web launch tool launches an application requiring a URL. The example below launches 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 node
where WebJetAdmin is installed. The parameter %n is used to substitute the managed node
hostname. 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
allows a trusted user to disable the tool in the Toolbox if the value is false. This tool launches in a
separate browser window using the "target-frame" of WJAFrame. For additional parameters, see
“mxtool command parameters”.
