7.5 Invoking Functions Directly

This section explains how to invoke the Monitor and Drill Down views directly.

Normally, to prevent the browser menu bar and address bar from being displayed, the initial window opened by specifying the URL starts the Console in a separate window and then closes.

Note, however, that depending on the specifications of the browser used, the following message box may appear when the initial window closes.

To prevent this message box from appearing, the direct function invocation method explained below uses the first window that is invoked.

For this reason, the standard toolbar of the browser is displayed.

7.5.1 Invoking the Monitor view

To invoke the Monitor view directly, add the following parameters.

XXX.html[?mode=monitor[&type=TARGET_TYPE&name=TARGET_NAME [&monitor= MONITOR_NAME]]]

The "XXX" part is the user name.

The meaning of each parameter is explained in the following table.

Parameter	Meaning
Mode	Specifies the function to be invoked. When invoking the Monitor view, this parameter is fixed as "monitor".
Type	Specifies the type and name (display name) of the target to be displayed. These two parameters are specified together as a set. The following types can be specified: "SystemGroup" "Agent" "Name" cannot specify some characters (such as #, ?, +, \ and $) in an URL directly. Use URL encoding to specify any of these characters. If "SystemGroup" or "Agent" is specified for "Type", and if the object corresponding to the display name specified for "Name" does not exist, the following message will be displayed and the top tree (in its initial state) will then be displayed in the tree frame of the Console from which the Monitor view was invoked. "The node selected is not exist. The tree is initial displayed."
Name
Monitor	Specifies the monitor name displayed in the Monitor tree. The monitor names that can be specified are explained in Section 7.3.4, "Monitor types".

The content invoked by each parameter differs according to the extent of the specification.

The following table lists the various parameter combinations.

Invoked content	mode	type	name	monitor
Monitor view	Yes	No		No
Monitor target	Yes	Yes		No
Monitor content	Yes	Yes		Yes

Example of Monitor view invocation

If only the "function" parameter is specified, the Console will start up with the Monitor view function selected.

Sample URL entry for invocation:

http://client_host/SSQC/User1.html?mode=monitor

Sample startup window:

Example of monitor target invocation

When the "mode" and "type/name" parameters are specified, the Console will start with the targets selected in the Monitor tree.

After the Console has opened, monitor content can be displayed simply by selecting the various monitors in the tree.

Sample URL entry for invocation:

http://client_host/SSQC/User1.html?mode=monitor&type=Agent&name=italy

Sample startup window:

Example of monitor content invocation

When the "mode", "type/name" and "monitor" parameters are all specified, monitor content will be displayed directly.

Sample URL entry for invocation:

http://client_host/SSQC/User1.html?mode=monitor&type=Agent&name=italy&monitor=ServerMonitor

Sample startup window:

7.5.2 Invoking the Drill Down view 

To invoke the Drill Down view directly, add the following parameters.

XXX.html[?mode=drilldown[&type=TARGET_TYPE&name=TARGET_NAME]]

The "XXX" part is the user name.

The meaning of each parameter is explained in the following table.

Parameter name	Meaning
Mode	Specifies the function to be invoked. When invoking the Drill Down view, this parameter is fixed as "drilldown".
Type	Specifies the type and name (display name) of the target to be displayed. These two parameters are specified together as a set. The following types can be specified: "SystemGroup" "Agent" "Name" cannot specify some characters (such as #, ?, +, \ and $) in an URL directly. Use URL encoding to specify any of these characters. If "SystemGroup" or "Agent" is specified for "Type", and if the object corresponding to the display name specified for "Name" does not exist, the following message will be displayed and the top tree (in its initial state) will then be displayed in the tree frame of the Console from which the Drill Down view was invoked. "The node selected is not exist. The tree is initial displayed."
Name

The content invoked by each parameter differs according to the extent of the specification.

The following table lists the various parameter combinations.

Invoked content	mode	type	name
Drill Down view	Yes	No
Drill Down target	Yes	Yes

Example of Drill Down view invocation

If only the "mode" parameter is specified, the Console will start up with the Drill Down view function selected.

Sample URL entry for invocation:

http://client_host/SSQC/User1.html?mode=drilldown

Sample startup window:

Example of drill down target invocation

When the "mode" and "type/name" parameters are specified, the Console will start with the targets selected in the Drill Down tree.

After the Console has started, drill down content can be displayed simply by selecting detailed parameters.

Sample URL entry for invocation:

http://client_host/SSQC/User1.html?mode=drilldown&type=Agent&name=italy
