Launching external applications

The External Application Launch task allows third party management software and other programs that function outside of IBM Director to be integrated with IBM Director. This new mechanism uses easy-to-create files, called CMDTask files, to add tasks that can be launched for managed objects. After a task is added, you can launch the task by opening it or by dragging and dropping it onto a managed object.

After you create a CMDTask file, it appears as a subtask of the External Application Launch task in the Task pane of IBM Director Console. You can create single tasks or groups of related tasks.
