10.1 Customizing the Console to Restore Windows

One of the disadvantages of using the standard Tile and Cascade options to toggle between multiple windows is that the sizing and position of windows that you have configured are not maintained.

The Operations Center administrator can use the browserframe.allowrestore setting so that configurations are restored when window minimize and maximize buttons are used to maximize one window, then return to the original multiple window configuration by clicking that window’s minimize button.

To retain the configuration of windows after one window is maximized:

  1. Edit the /OperationsCenter_install_path/html/client/template/launch.jnlp file, then add the following property assignment in the resources section:

    <property name="browserframe.allowrestore" value="true"/>
    
  2. Run the Operations Center Configuration Manager and click Apply.
