Using SoftBench Message Monitor

Composing and Sending a Message

Composing and Sending a Message

You can compose and send messages from SoftBench Message Monitor using "Messages: Send Message…". Here is a sample session:……

1.Choose "Messages: Send Message…".

2.Select "Tool Request".

3.Enter EDIT in the "Tool Class" input box to request an edit.

4.Enter WINDOW in the "Command" input box to bring up the file in an edit window.

5."Host" and "Dir" identify the group of tools that communicate. You should not change these two fields. "Oper" identifies the file to be edited.

Be sure that the "Host", "Dir" and "Oper" fields have the appropriate format. By default, the "Host" and "Dir" fields are filled in based on the tool's current project. If this tool is not associated with a project, it defaults to the current working directory. To create a proper "Oper", type in the path of the file you want to edit and select the Expand button to put the file in the proper message format.

6.Select Send.

7.Select Close to remove the "Send Message" dialog box.
