Analyzer Launch Screen
Here is an example of the Analyzer Launch Screen:

From top to bottom, this screen contains the following elements:
- Screen tab name (upper left corner): always Launcher
- Context menu (pull-down menu in the
upper-right corner of the screen): the context menu controls various
options and actions associated with this screen:
- Run Externally: controls whether or not the
analyzers will run in the same JVM process as IBM Support Assistant
itself or if each analyzer will run in a separate external process. By
default the analyzers are run in a separate process.
- Analyzer List Type (List, Bush or Tree):
controls how the list of available analyzers is
displayed: as a plain flat list, as a one-level tree
("bush") or as a complete hierarchical tree (the default)
- Add Analyzers...: opens a file browse menu
from which can be used to select new jar files containing analyzers or new
analyzer script files. The specified analyzers are loaded into the
tool and added to the menu of available analyzers
- System dump file entry field and Browse button: to specify the name of a dump file to be analyzed. The dump file can either be typed explicitly in the entry field or can be selected from a file browse dialog.
- List of available analyzers: shows all the analyzers currently configured in the tool. To select a particular analyzer to run simply click on it in the list.
- Description: this area is dynamically updated to display a description of the analyzer currently selected in the list above
- Optional Parameters: use this field to specify any additional options to be passed to the tool before executing an
analyzer. For example
-debugLevel:2
to provide more detailed logging information during a run. Running with the "-help" option
lists available options.
- Analyze button: click this button to start executing the analyzer currently selected in the list above on the specified
dump. The output of the analysis will appear in a separate Analysis Results screen.
