Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

To Register an Application with dtappintegrate

If the application is desktop-smart, dtappintegrate is usually run automatically as the final step in the installation process. If it is not run automatically, or if you have created the configuration files to integrate a non-desktop smart application, then you can run dtappintegrate manually.

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Run the command:

    	/usr/dt/bin/dtappintegrate -s  app_root
    

    where app_root is the desktop application root directory. For more information, see the dtappintegrate(1) man page.

  3. Open the Desktop_Tools application group and double-click Reload Applications.

  4. Verify that the application is properly registered:

    1. Display the top level of the Application Manager. The new application group should appear in the Application Manager.

    2. Open the application group and double-click the action icon.
