Table H-3 WLA-specific attributes (continued)
Description
Syntax
1
Attribute
An optional parameterized string that
provides a way for web-launch
applications to pass long lists of targets.
The <target-format> gets expanded in
exactly the same manner as the URLs
defined for the tool (for example,
<main-url>).
<target-format> (parameters)
</target-format>
Target-format
Indicates the title of a section in the
System Page Tools/Links tab. The
content of this attribute is the displaying
title for a section of links. For example,
"Systems Insight Manager Pages" is
a section title.
<system-page-link-group-title>
(parameters)
</system-page-link-group-title>
System-page-link-group-title
1 Replace italicized text between start and stop tags with actual attribute/value/data. Non-italicized text represents valid
entry option. You must specify values for attributes; there are no default values.
mxtool command parameters
The HP SIM mxtool command enables you to perform specific actions as defined by the
parameter(s) that follow it. The following table is a partial list of common parameters used with
the mxtool command.

NOTE: For more information about mxtool parameters, refer to the mxtool man page in the HP
SIM information library at the following URL: http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/
management/hpsim/info-library5/mxtool.1m.html or in the HP Systems Insight Manager Command
Line User Guide.
Parameterized strings
Parameterized strings allow tool developers to greatly enhance the options available in creating
TDEFs. Parameterized strings contain replacement fields (similar to the format strings used in the
popular printf() function in the standard C library). These fields can be replaced by values entered
by the user at runtime (as defined by the tool parameters attribute), by some standard task properties
supplied by the Task Controller by values related to the selected target systems or system groups,
or by property values retrieved from a global tool properties file.
