    For more information, see the BMC AMI Command Center for Db2 documentation.

  2. In the Products Tools perspective, click the Add View menu arrow SS_add_view.png,  Add Rule, and then Add SmartSwitch view. 

    Product Tools is not displayed by default. There are two ways to make Product Tools appear:

    • Select the BMC AMI Command Center Advanced layout when you create the workspace.
    • Click the Layout button, select Product Tools, and click OK.

  3. Click SS_layout.pngAdd SmartSwitch view.

    Tip

    You can also right-click in the navigation pane to select this action.

    The default value of the Add View menu is always the last option that you created. 

  4. Select a Db2 connection by using either of the following methods:
    • Type the full or partial name of a Db2 connection to select the first subsystem that matches this value in the list of favorite connections.

    • Use the menu arrow to select from your list of favorite connections.

      Tip

      You can add Db2 connections to your list of favorite connections by clicking SS_favorites.pngand specifying which connections to include.

  5. In the View name field, enter a meaningful name for this SmartSwitch view, or accept the default name.

  6. Click OK.The navigation pane lists the new view, and the results pane displays a rules table for the designated subsystem. Any existing rules for that subsystem are also displayed.

    Tip

    In the table, the rules are displayed in the default order in which SmartSwitch evaluates them.  

    You can sort the table according to the column headers. Click SS_refresh.pngto restore the rules to the default order.

  7. Click SS_save.png to save the workspace.
    You can now add, edit, copy, delete, and deploy SmartSwitch rules, as explained in Managing-SmartSwitch-rules.
