CLI-based server-tool development tasks
The basic steps for developing a customized CLI-based server tool are:
- Make the server tool available to console users when right-clicking a tool target object—typically a certain type of topology, notification, or map object.
- Write the tool scripts that run the server tool.Of course, these are the same basic steps for developing any type of server tool. The difference between creating a standard server tool and a CLI-based server tool is in the writing of the tool scripts that run the tool. Accordingly, step 2 is the emphasis of the discussions that follow.
