Configuring remote instances of IBM Director Console for external application tasks

External application tasks are initially created only on the management server. Additional preparation is required to start external application tasks using remote instances of IBM® Director Console.

The following prerequisites apply to this procedure:
Use the following procedure to configure a remote instance of IBM Director Console to start an external application task:
  1. Copy the task icon files from the management server to the remote management console. For the external application task icons to appear on the remote instance of IBM Director Console, the GIF files used to define the icons must be present on the management console with the same path and file names as on the management server.
  2. Ensure that the application to be started by the external application task, as well as any resources required by the application, is present on the target system. If necessary, install the application on the target system. The path and file name where the application is installed on the management console must be the same as on the management server, as specified in the CMDExt file associated with the external application task..
