How to modify custom-menu-config to open multiple external tools

[Anon Anon]

Hello together,

 

i modified my custom-menu-config.xml with the following:

   <menu name="Connections Tools">
     <item name="Launch Putty">
        <action>
        <filter>
                <has-attribute>AttributeID.NETWORK_ADDRESS</has-attribute>
        </filter>
                <launch-application>
                        <command>C:\\PROGRA~2\\PuTTY\\putty.exe {0}</command>
                        <validate/>
                        <param>
                                <attribute>AttributeID.NETWORK_ADDRESS</attribute>
                                </param>

                </launch-application>
                </action>

                <toolbar-image>images/putty.gif</toolbar-image>
                <accelerator modifiers="2">VK_S</accelerator>
        </item>
   </menu>

 

What i like to do is to mark several entries in the Alarm List an open an connection to every network_address with putty. If i try to do this now i cannot use the above defined menu item.

 

Regards,

Christian

I am not sure this is possible from a customization point.

You might have to go about this another way.  Like launching a script instead perhaps?  Windows batch file might be able to do it if we can parse each selected Network Address you are on.  That is the part I am unsure of.

I think it would be possible for me to create a script/batch file whatever which is able to do that. The part I am unsure of is that I don't know how to parse each selected Network Address to that script.

Hi,

 

Not sure if this still is an issue, but  have you tried to add  <run-for-multiple-alarms /> in   <launch-application>?

 

It should let you select multiple alarms and launch the script for each alarm.
