Daniel,
I have found that, provided there weren't any errors in my MenuBar.xml
and Action.xml files, they appear automatically in the Web Console
Security application as options that you can select or deselect for a
particular role. I don't think I even needed to bounce any daemons - I
believe the Web Console Security application reads all the relevant files.
If you don't see you new options, I would start by checking the
modifications again and also check log files.
Cheers,
Jane

Hello All,
In the 7.1.3 for Unix release notes under the section entitled 'Customizing the
Web Console Menu' outlines the process for adding menu items to the menu bar.
It provides an example to add two menu items (Ovobjprint and MIB System Group),
on pg.2.
The steps to accomplish this are pretty straight forward (editing MenuBar.xml
to add the appropriate lines for both items), which I've done. I'm struggling
with Step number 3 'Use the Web Console Security application to add these two
new actions to the roles that you want to contain them'. I can't seem to find
the option for me to do that within the Web Console Security utility. I can
add a user, define roles for users, add new roles, etc. - but can't seem to
find where or how to add a menu item? I can see the list of options/controls
(right hand pane) that a user or role has access to for which you can check or
uncheck to control access.
Is it a question of somehow forcing Netview to re-read the 'MenuBar.xml' file?
If so, how do I do that? I've stopped and started all NV services, in addition
to stopping and restarting Web services but can't seem to get it working, or at
least it's not apparent to me that a change has taken place.
Also - as I mentioned yesterday, I want to be able to somehow right click en
event (not an object) to push the event contents out to a flatfile or to a DB
on a remote server (Remedy, etc.). Will I be able to accomplish that through
the Web Console? If I righ-click on an event, the only option I have is to
view the details of the event, I want to add to that menu somehow to get it to
invoke a script that facilitates the push to either a flatfile or DB.
Sorry for the long-winded message, but many thanks in advance for any help.
Kindest regards,
Dan

You are on UNIX, are you not?
The context menu for events is fixed and has no API.
However, you can achieve something similar to what you want using the
Options --> Additional Actions menu.
There are several additional actions supplied.
This allows you to build an underlying script which can be launched by
the
user by highlighting one or more events and following through that menu
path.
Details on how you pass the event elements to your script are in the man
page for trapd.conf
While you could update trapd.conf directly, the preferred method is to
use xnmtrap. That should prevent you from messing up the syntax so
badly
that trapd cores trying to read what you put in. If you bring that up,
then you'll see a big button on the lower right entitled, "Configure
Additional Actions . . ."
Have fun

Subject: [nv-l] Custom Menu Functionality from NV Event
List
Hello Everyone,
Does NV have a method for me to add a customized menu item, i.e.; Tool,
Script, etc? Ideally, I'd like to be able to 'right-click' on an event
within the event list and have the menu item appear as part of a drop
down
list of items - giving the end user the option to select the item and
execute the selection.
I was wondering if anyone out there has attempted something similar, and
if so, how did you facilitate it?
Many thanks,
Dan
