Guidelines for New HTMPL Files

You can add your own HTMPL files to the CA SDM web interface. Follow these guidelines to help ensure your HTMPL file works well with the rest of the CA SDM interface:

  1. Include the following statement somewhere in the <HEAD> section of the file. This statement should follow the <TITLE> statement (if any). It defines several JavaScript global variables required by CA SDM web interface, and also registers your page with the CA SDM window manager: 
    <PDM_INCLUDE FILE=std_head.htmpl>
  2. Include the following attribute as part of the <BODY> tag of the file. This attribute helps the CA SDM window manager keep track of your page: 
    onUnload="deregister_window()"
  3. Include the following statement at the beginning of the <BODY> section of your file. The “menubar=no” argument is optional; if specified, it suppresses the CA SDM menu bar: 
    <PDM_INCLUDE FILE=std_body.htmpl [menubar=no]>
  4. Include the following statement at the end of the <BODY> section of your file. 
    <PDM_INCLUDE FILE=std_footer.htmpl>
