Overview

BMC AMI Command Center provides both object-driven and task-driven workflows. Use workspaces when you want to work on an object, such as cloning a table. Use applications when you want to accomplish a task, such as finding inefficient SQL statements.

Applications

Applications (apps) provide functions that let you accomplish tasks that are not object-specific. For example, you can use applications to find problematic SQL statements and maintain connections to Db2 subsystems.

You can create one instance of an application during a BMC AMI Command Center session. Applications do not persist between sessions.

For more information, see Managing Apps.

 

Workspaces

You can define as many workspaces as you need, and no other users can view or edit them. You can create a workspace template, which others can use to create workspaces with the same set of views.  

Each workspace has several perspectives. A perspective contains command options to perform a set of tasks. The perspective displays results relating to different objects or statements in user-defined views. For example, you might define a view to display a subset of DB2 objects in the DB2 Navigator perspective. Performing certain actions on an object can automatically switch the perspective and open the corresponding view to display the relevant content.

During a session, you can save a workspace at any time and return to it later in that session or another session. Workspace filters preserve your working environment. Consequently, you can partially complete a task (such as tuning SQL), save your workspace, and address another task that requires immediate attention; when time permits, you can return to your saved tuning session and continue creating What-If scenarios.
