During recording, you start an application using the Start Application or Start Java
Application dialog box. In the dialog box, you can specify the diagnostic tool that the
application should start under during playback.
It is useful to set the diagnostic tool option during recording if you have several
applications in a script and you want to start each application under a different tool
during playback.
For example, suppose you have a shell script that calls three scripts. Each script starts
one application, and you want to start each one under a different tool. When you
started each application during recording, you would select the appropriate tool.
When you played back the script, the setting for each application would override the
setting in the GUI Playback Options dialog box.
The tools options are enabled in the dialog box if the tools are installed.
