Issue/Introduction

Can user setup a JavaScript to hold an application at startup?

Environment

Release : 12.2

Component :

Resolution

Here is a sample that will use Global variable to decide if the application will be held.   Setup a global variable as in example HOLD_APP (it can be any name).  Set its value to Y.

check_ver = getVar('HOLD_APP');
if (check_ver == 'Y') 
{
execCommand('ALL','MY_APPLICATION.0','ACTION HOLD');
}

Change 'MY_APPLICATION' to your actual application name.  Open the properties of application and define the JavaScript at Runtime.  The application will run the script and hold if global variable is set accordingly.
