Create a Client Manager Shortcut

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click an empty area of the desktop.
2. Click New, Shortcut.
3. In the Create Shortcut dialog, click Browse.
4. Using the Browse for Folder dialog, select down the folder tree into the Client Manager installation directory.
5. Click the Client Manager executable file IEFCMxxN.EXE

   Note: xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. For the current release number, see the Release Notes.

6. Click OK.
7. Click Next.
8. Change the name of the shortcut if desired, and click Finish.

   This creates a shortcut and place an icon on the desktop.

9. Locate the icon, right-click the icon, and select the Properties menu item.
10. In the edit field labeled Target, append to the file name the following parameters:

    iefcm startup /initfile=iefcmn.ini
    

    iefcm

    Specifies the transaction code associated with the initial procedure step. This is a required parameter

    startup

    Specifies the initial command executed by the initial procedure step. This is a required parameter

    /initfile=

    Is followed by the name of the initialization file for this Client Manager instance. Use the filename iefcmn.ini for the first execution. In later executions, use the name you give the initialization file during configuration. This parameter is optional. If not specified, the default initialization file name "iefcmn.ini" is used.

    For single-instance Client Manager it is not necessary to change the name of the iefcmn.ini as there would be a need for only one .ini file. For use in a multi-user environment, each instance of the Multi-Instance Client Manager must have its own uniquely named initialization file.

11. Click OK on the properties dialog to complete the shortcut configuration.
