Adding a Toolbox URL to a Toolbox

Adding a toolbox URL to a toolbox is the same as adding a toolbox to Management Tools except that you select a different node. You can add a server toolbox URL or a local toolbox URL to the top node of a toolbox or to a folder.

1. Select the node in a toolbox to which you want to add a toolbox URL.

   Refer to the first four steps in "Adding a Folder to a Toolbox" on page 37 if you need instructions.

2. From the Actions menu, choose Add Toolbox URL.

   The Toolbox URL window is displayed, as shown in Figure 47.

   You can add a toolbox URL for either a server toolbox or a local toolbox.

3. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

   You can use the existing defaults or override the toolbox settings in subsequent steps.

4. Click on the Finish button.

   The toolbox URL is added to the hierarchy in the Navigation pane at the bottom of the node you selected.

5. If you want to move the toolbox URL up in the hierarchy, highlight the folder and, from the Action menu, choose Move Up as many times as needed to move the folder to its new position in the hierarchy.

6. From the Toolbox menu, choose Save As.

7. Navigate to the /var/sadm/smc/toolboxes directory.

8. Type the name you want to use for this toolbox in the Filename text field and then click on Save.

   You do not need to add the .tbx suffix. The wizard automatically adds the suffix to the file name you specify. If you do add a .tbx suffix to the file name, it is ignored.

   The changes to the toolbox are saved and the wizard is closed.
