Operations Console Command Line Shortcuts

Has anyone attempted to use these command line shortcuts for the Operations console? I am attempting to launch a view shortcut using the "name" as is mentioned in the instructions. I have tried Name and ID extracted from the Authoring console. In the end, 'view not found' is the only result I receive

Here are the shortcut parameters for Microsoft.MOM.UI.Console.exe

  • /ViewName
  • /TaskName
  • /TaskTarget
  • /ManagementPack

Here is a sample of the command line syntax I have attempted. Can anyone else make this work?

"C:\Program Files\Operations Manager 2007\Microsoft.MOM.UI.Console.exe" /ViewName:'Server 2008 OperatingSystem State Detail View' /ManagementPack:'Windows Server 2008 Operating System (Monitoring)'

I don't get anything for the specific 2003 and 2008 state views when I test them but this one works ok for me (from the Windows Server Library MP):

"C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Microsoft.MOM.UI.Console.exe" /ViewName:Microsoft.Windows.Server.OperatingSystem.State.View /ManagementPack:Microsoft.Windows.Server.Library

You need to use the internal names, not the display names of the views, tasks, etc.

In the Windows MPs, the values you're looking for show up under Presentation\Views in the Authoring Console under the "Name" column.

Your Management pack ID will be the Id listed when you look at File-->Management Pack Properties in the authoring console.

Another Note (apologies for the updates) - you'll only be able to hit the item directly like this if it's listed as Public.

For example, in the Authoring console, click on the view you want and check the "Accessibility" value that shows up in the View Details. If it shows as "Internal" then it won't work for you. You'll just get a blank screen open up. If it's listed as "Public" you should be able to use it in the command line switches.

Alicia, Thank you for the detail response and example. This is now working perfectly for me. I was copying and pasting values from the properties in the Authoring console. Unfortunately, I was copying and pasting the wrong values.

Thank you again.
