Avviso

When using the Launch Tool activity you must ensure that you have selected an HP Operations Manager Connection that is configured with a user that has sufficient privileges for launching tools in HP Operations Manager.

Avviso

When using the Launch Tool activity to launch a server-defined tool you should be careful to ensure that the Command field contains the unique ID of an existing tool. Specifying an invalid unique ID may cause the Launch Tool activity to become unresponsive for long periods of time when targeting some HP Operations Manager systems, in particular those hosted on HP-UX.
