@Vladimir#2 -

Your ConsoleTask Target attribute needs to point to the ID attribute of the Folder element. For example:

<Assembly>SMConsole!SdkDataAccessAssembly</Assembly>

<Handler>Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.UI.SdkDataAccess.ConsoleTaskHandler</Handler>

<Argument Name="Assembly">Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Application.Common</Argument>

<Argument Name="Type">Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.GenericForm.NewInstanceTask</Argument>

<Argument>MyClassTypeIDOrTypeProjectionID</Argument>

</Parameters>

</ConsoleTask>

Plese note that using this assembly directly is not really a supported extensibility and may break in the future.

Also - please note I havent tested this out, but it should work.

I know the targeting part works, so worst case you can write your own task handler.

Also - keep in mind that you should be get a "free" Create X console task for each view in your folder. If your view is showing objects of X class, there will be a right click menu option on the view to 'Create X'.

2 Travis Wright

Thanks for your answer.

But I still interested in creating the same tasks as for folder "Incident Management". When we target the folder, task pane presents us three tasks (by default):

- "Create folder";

- "Create View";

- "Create Incident".

I created my own folder "Request" in the "Work Items" folder. Then resolved question with creating two tasks: - "Create folder"; - "Create View". And it's work.

But I can't understand how to create task "Create Request" FOR MY FOLDER "Request", not for subfolders and views in it.(like "Create Incident" for folder "Incident Management")

Also I have a "Reaquest" class in my Management Pack yet.

Can you help?

@Vladimir -

If you want to create a new folder as a child of the Work Item workspace Work Items root folder then you can just right click and create a new folder.

If you want to create a second top root folder (peer of Work Items) in the Work Items workspace then you just need to create a new <Folder> element and set the ParentFolder attribute equal to the ID of the WorkItems folder. To get a list of Folder IDs and their management packs you can look in the ServiceManager database by running this query:

select * from Folder

You can use the ManagementPackId field to look up the Management Pack in the ManagementPack table.

Keep in mind that in this case you will need to create an MP reference to whatever MP the parent folder is in and then set the value of the ParentFolder attribute by specifying the MP reference alias + "!" + Folder ID like this:

SomeManamgentPackReferecenAlias!SomeFolderID

Hope that helps!

Very interesting, but... what about new folder in "Work Items" and deriving tasks as for other existing folders?
