SUMMARY

There is a single batch script located in the ITCSCallCenter shared drive (O:\Tools\IOC Script\IOC_Monitoring_Script.bat). If you would like to use it please make a shortcut to this and not just copy it as changes may be made in the future. This script will launch all the necessary applications for the IOC Monitoring Environment. If you have any issues or would like a different/new configuration added email Collin at hartleyc@purdue.edu. 

How To Use The Script

When you run the script you will begin in the Main Menu with 3 options. These options are "Launch Minimum Software" which will launch the minimum IOC applications; "Launch Individual Software" which will offer a menu to launch different applications individually; and "Launch with Virtual Desktops" which will launch applications in different virtual desktops on Windows 10. If you are using this option please make sure VDesk is installed. The installer can be found in the same folder as the script. To select an option simply type the number next to the next option and press "enter".

Launch Minimum Software (Option 1)

Launching option 1 will run UC4, Struxureware, Metasys, and SquaredUp in chrome.

Launch Individual Software (Option 2)

Launching option 2 will take you to a new menu titled "Software Launcher". Here there are a series of choices to launch UC4, Metasys, Struxureware, SquaredUp in chrome, Chrome Multiple Tabs ( which will open chrome with exchange, CSC Confluence page, Footprints, Xymon, SquaredUp, and the CSC Slack), The IOC log in Firefox, and finally an option to go back to the Main Menu.

Launch with Virtual Desktops

Launching Option 3 will launch UC4, Struxureware, and Metasys on virtual desktop 2 and Chrome Multiple Tabs (See Launch Option 2) as well as the Log in Firefox on virtual desktop 1. It is important that VDesk is installed when launching. If this option does not work on the machine you're using then install VDesk which can be found in the same folder as the script. It is best to wait a couple minutes before launching this option after logging in so Windows can finish its post login processes. Failing to wait may cause the script to open software in the wrong desktops and can take a long time to run everything as there are several programs being launched.
