Opening Multiple Operator Consoles (for different MOM Mgmt Groups)

Large environments may have multiple MOM management groups, but the Operator Console can only be focused to one MG at a time. Below are the steps for creating a simple batch file to simultaneously open two copies of the Operator Console, each homed to a different Mgmt Server / Mgmt Group.   The Operator Console settings can be modified by creating a shortcut (.omc) file, which is an XML file containing settings and preferences, etc. Within this file, you can control which Management Server (and thus Management Group) will be opened.   To create the shortcut file, select the File menu, Save As, then enter a friendly name (like mgmtgroup1.omc). Create a 2nd shortcut file by a different name (mgmtgroup2.omc), and save. Open the mgmtgroup1.omc shortcut file in Notepad. Find the following section near the top of the file. Replace PrimaryMgmtServer with the desired Management Server. <ServerName>PrimaryMgmtServer</ServerName>   Open the mgmtgroup2.omc shortcut file in Notepad, and repeat the process by replacing PrimaryMgmtServer with the desired Management Server.  Double-clicking the shortcut file will launch the Operator Console with your preferences. But to open multiple consoles, create a batch file in the same directory as your shortcut files as follows   ‘*********Begin bat file here*********   start mgmtgroup1.omc start mgmtgroup2.omc   ‘*********End bat file here*********   Run the batch file to open 2 Operator Consoles, each with the Management Server preferences you’ve specified.   Other customizable settings in the shortcut XML file   Backup server (in the <ServerName> tag section) if the primary server is unavailable <BackupServers>     <ServerName>MON-MGT-02</ServerName>   </BackupServers>   Auto-refresh interval (in seconds)   <AutoRefreshInterval>60</AutoRefreshInterval>   Enable or disable auto-refresh   <AutoRefreshEnabled>true</AutoRefreshEnabled>
