Solaris Bandwidth Manager 1.5 Administration Guide

Navigating in `batool`

batool has a set of menus and an icon bar which you can use to navigate in the tool and make changes to the configuration.

Using the File Menu and Icon Panel

You can use the File menu to create a new configuration file, open an existing configuration file (by specifying either a filename or a URL), save a configuration file, and save a configuration file with a new name. You can also save your current configuration file and restart the Solaris Bandwidth Manager policy agent.

Alternatively, you can use the icon panel to perform most of the same functions:

Icon	Menu Item	Description
	none	Refreshes the screen display.
none	New	Creates a new configuration file, with the name `new.conf`.
	Open	Opens the specified file and displays its contents in the Overview window.
	Save	Saves a file. If the file has not been saved before, use the file selection window to specify a filename and directory. The file name should have the extension `.conf`.
none	Save As	Saves the configuration file with a new name, or writes it to a Directory Service using the specified URL.
	Save and Restart	Saves the configuration file and restarts the policy agent using the saved version of the file.
none	Restart URL	Restarts the policy agent using the configuration saved in the Directory Service specified using the URL.

Using the Edit Menu and Icon Panel

You can use the Edit menu to create, cut, copy, and paste definitions in many of the windows in batool. The exact function of each option depends on the active window. For example, the paste option will paste a URL group in the URL Group window and will paste a class as child or sibling in the Classes window.

Alternatively, you can use the icon panel to perform the same functions as the Edit menu:

Icon	Menu Item	Description
	New	Creates a new definition. If you create a new class, it is added as a child of the currently selected definition. New definitions always have the name `new`. Change this before saving the configuration.
	Cut	Deletes a definition from the definition hierarchy.
	Copy	Adds a duplicate definition as a child of the selected destination. It inherits parameter values and a name, appended by a number, from the original definition.
	Paste	Adds the definition as a child of the selected destination.
	none	Navigate up and down the definition hierarchy

Wherever you see an instruction to use the Edit menu, you can use these icons.
