Managing Sessions Using CA Automation Point Windows › Customizing Menus › Selecting Menus for Session Windows

Selecting Menus for Session Windows

The menu displayed for each session window appearing on the CA Automation Point desktop is configurable from Configuration Manager through Session Definition Sets dialogs. Before a user-customized menu can appear as a selectable menu, it must be previously defined by MENU and SUBMENU statements in the user.mnu file as directed in sections titled, Adding New Menu Options to Existing Submenus, Defining a New Menu, and Adding New Submenus to Existing Menus.

If you want to select a predefined CA Automation Point menu or specify a user-customized menu for a session window, follow these steps to configure a menu for a session window:

1. From Configuration Manager, click on Session Definition Sets to open the Session Definition Sets dialog. Expand the Session Definition Sets tree and double click on the session window you wish to specify a menu for.
2. From the Automation Point Session Definition dialog, click on the Menu edit box and select a menu from a list of defined menus. Click OK to save and close the dialog.
3. Click on Close to exit the Session Definition Sets dialog.
4. You must recycle CA Automation Point before a new menu displays on a desktop window.

If you do not want to customize the menu, CA Automation Point automatically selects from its default menu system a predefined menu designed for the terminal emulation specified by the Terminal setting. For example, if Terminal is set to 6530, CA Automation Point selects the menu named SESSION_6530 for the default menu.
