iapp description field

Lindsay,

 

You are correct. You cannot retrieve the description field from an iApp that does not exist. You can get around this with a Tcl "catch".

 

set app $tmsh::app_name

 

set desc "Not available"

 

catch { set desc [tmsh::list sys app ser $app description] } err

 

If you wish to change the description from within the iApp, you can do that too:

 

tmsh::modify sys app ser $app description \"Hello World\"

 

I'm not sure what your objective is beyond that, but perhaps these examples will help.
