Add a new tool shortcut Program window

Use the Program page in this window to identify the tool that runs when the shortcut is clicked.

Executable
Contains the name of the program that runs when you click the shortcut. Do either of the following.
  • Enter only the name of file that you can execute. If the executable is not on your host's path, enter the full path. You can enter any type of path that is valid on Windows, for example, a UNC name, an absolute path, or a path that is relative to the Rational® ClearCase® Explorer executable file.
  • Click the browse button to the right to open a window from which you can browse for a file or directory in the namespaces that are accessible from your computer.
Program arguments
If the executable that you specified in Executable requires or allows you to pass arguments or parameters, enter them in this field. Use whatever syntax the executable requires. For example, if you must use parenthesis and quotation marks or quotation marks alone, enter them in the Program Arguments window.
Working Directory
If the executable in Executable requires or allows you to specify a directory from which it accesses or creates its data files, enter the path here. Enter whatever type of path is valid for the executable. Click the browse button to the right to open a window from which you can browse the namespaces that are accessible from your computer and select a file or directory.
Prompt for Arguments
Select Prompt for Arguments to have a Program Arguments window open when the user clicks the icon for the shortcut. The window allows the user to enter additional arguments at run time.
Test
Click Test to run the executable and pass any arguments that you entered on the Program page.
