Application to Launch Options Dialog Box

The Application to Launch Options dialog box enables you to configure the default environment of the application that the Activity launches.

Environment Variables

The environment variables become visible and editable if you uncheck the Use default environment check box. Edit the environment variables that you want to change. You can add, remove or change environment variables.

Use default environment

Check this box to use the local system's default set of environment variables when running the application. Uncheck this box to change the environment variables.

The use of special characters in environment variables, such as "$", is not supported. Strings are passed as they are, without any interpretation.

To access this dialog box in the Eclipse* environment:

1. Double-click the Activity in the Tuning Browser.

2. Select the Application/Module Profiles to open the Application/Module Profiles panel

3. Select a application/module profile and click Configure...

   The Configure Application/Module Profile dialog box opens.

4. Click Advanced....

5. The Application to Launch Options dialog box opens.

Note

• The application to launch is part of the configuration of a application/module profile. Depending on the data collector, an application/module profile can be required, optional, or unsupported. See the help on your data collector for more details.

• Try to avoid editing the environment variables for an application running on a remote system. If you do need to change the environment variables for a remote application, the default environment variables will not be displayed upon unchecking the Use default environment check box, and you will need to type in all the environment variables, with or without changes.

• If you do need to enter environment variables for Linux* OS , the following format should be used:
  VARIABLE=VALUE
  With one variable per line, all of which are case-sensitive.
