IMS objects on the tree
The tree simplifies your interaction with the IMS objects in your environment by organizing the objects hierarchically.
Hierarchical organization also makes the process of defining parameters, such as thresholds, efficient. Parameters can be defined at the top level and can be inherited by all (or certain) child objects.
Each object has an associated pop-up menu that provides commands to add and configure child objects, to perform an action against an object, and to customize parameters for an object. For a comprehensive list of the objects and the commands that are available at each object level, see the online Help.
Table 1 lists some objects that can be displayed in the IMS Database Administration folder.
