The graphical user interface enables the following tasks to be completed:<ul class = "ul" id = "tso-c-usr-work-guiOvw__ul_8C7D3B5004384F4D9C490A1B417DD044">

<p>
<span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.gui</span>
can be started with the command <code class = "ph codeph">tosca_gui</code> in a <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure</span>
command shell. The start script can be found in
<code class = "ph codeph"><span class = "ph">&lt;install_dir&gt;/&lt;os&gt;</span>/code/command/ToscaStructureGui.[bat|sh]</code>.
</p>

<p>
The graphical user interface requires Java to be available on the system. When started the
<span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.gui</span>
will search for a valid Java distribution automatically. If successful it will work without any user action.
If none can be found the graphical interface cannot start and an error message will guide the user how to properly setup Java.
</p>
<p>
There are multiple ways to set the Java distribution for the <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.gui</span> to use:
<ul class = "ul">
<li class = "li">
<p>
The common way to define the path where the Java distribution can be found on the system is to declare it in the installation configuration file:
</p>
<p>
<code class = "ph codeph"><span class = "ph">&lt;install_dir&gt;/&lt;os&gt;</span>/SMA/site/EstablishedProductsConfig.ini</code>
</p>
<p>
Here the user can set the path in the <code class = "ph codeph">[Tosca]</code> section with the parameter:
</p>
<p>
<code class = "ph codeph">INS_TSO_JAVA_PATH=&lt;path-to-Java&gt;</code>
</p>
</li>
<li class = "li">
Another possibility is to set the path in the environment variable <code class = "ph codeph">SMA_TSO_JAVA_PATH</code>.
This definition has the highest priority and allows to use a different path than what is defined in the global installation configuration.
</li>
<li class = "li">
Finally, the <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.gui</span> checks if the <code class = "ph codeph">JAVA_HOME</code> variable is set.
</li>
</ul>
