You can edit any existing custom commands by selecting a command from the Managing Custom Commands page. All fields are editable.

To edit an existing custom command:

  1. Select ToolsCustom CommandsManage Custom Commands. The Manage Custom Commands page appears.

  2. Select the custom command that you want to edit and click [Edit]. The Edit Custom Command section appears.

  3. In the Name field, enter the command name.

    Important: Custom command names must be at least one character in length, and no more than 255 characters in length. The first character of the name must be alphabetic. Characters following the first character can be letters, digits, spaces, or any of the following characters: "-", ".", "(", ")" or "_".

  4. In the Description field, enter the necessary information for this application.

  5. In the Comments field, enter any comments for this application.

  6. In the Command (Executable path and file name) field, enter the full path (from the root of the HP SIM console) and the file name of the application. For example:

    c:\custom code\romflash.bat

  7. In the Parameters field, enter the necessary command line parameters for this application.

    Parameter substitution is supported as defined in Parameterized Strings. Refer to Command Line Tools Reference - Parameterized Strings for more information.

  8. Enter the Variable name and Value for the Environment variables. Click [Add] after you enter each set of variables and values. To clear a previously set variable, highlight the variable, and click [Delete]. Refer to Custom Commands - Environment Variables for Custom Commands for information on environment variables.

    Note: DOS environment variables are supported in the custom command parameters and work as parameters on the New Custom Command page or the Manage Custom Commands page. However, they must be surrounded by double % signs. For example, to pass in the NOTICELABEL environment variable as a parameter, it should be entered as %%NOTICELABEL%% on the parameter line. The environment variables can also be accessed from a batch file or script file. To use them in a batch file or a script file, only a single % sign should precede and succeed the environment variable name. Refer to Command Line Tools - Parameterized Strings Substitution Table for a list of other substitutable variables.

  9. After you finish entering the custom command information, click [OK]. The new command is added to the Custom Commands menu.
