Obsolete Tools Migrated from SCM 2.5

SCM Management

These SCM agent management tools no longer apply to with SCM 3.0. To remove these

tools:

cd /var/opt/mx/tools/tools

/opt/mx/lbin/def2xml -t scmmgmt.tdef scmmgmt.xml

mxtool -rf scmmgmt.xml

X Window Tools With Incorrect Tool Type

If you have created tools that launch X clients, you need to change the tool type from

launch or stdout to x-windows. SCM 2.5 only supported launch and nolaunch (stdout),

while SCM 3.0 now supports all three types. This modification has already been made to

all X Window tools that shipped with the software. To modify your tool:

Step 1. Create an XML file for your tool by translating your TDEF file or extracting the XML file

for a tool already added to SCM 3.0.

To translate your TDEF:

/opt/mx/lbin/def2xml -t toolname.tdef toolname.xml

To extract the XML file for an existing SCM 3.0 tool:

mxtool -lf -t "Tool Name" > toolname.xml

Step 2. Set the command-type attribute to x-window.

Step 3. Add or modify the tool.

To add a new tool to SCM 3.0:

mxtool -a -f toolname.xml

To modify an existing SCM 3.0 tool:

mxtool -m -f toolname.xml
