External application tasks

External application tasks are user-defined tasks which appear in IBM Director Console and start a command, process, or application which is external to IBM Director and runs on the management console.

External application tasks are defined for IBM Director by a set of resources created by the External Application Launch Wizard. These resources specify what application is started, what the task title is in IBM Director Console, where the task appears in IBM Director Console, what icons are associated with the task, and how the task is started in IBM Director Console. External application tasks can be targeted, untargeted, or both.
