Adding an SSI context definition


To add a new SSI context definition, use the ADD command.

You must be in edit mode before you can enter the ADD command; see Editing-an-SSI-context-definition.

When the ADD command is issued, the Add SSI Context Definition dialog shown in Creating-an-SSI-context-definition is displayed, either with blank fields or with the values of an existing SSI context definition that you want to use as a template for a new definition. How you enter the ADD command determines the field values that are displayed.

See Creating-an-SSI-context-definition for information about each field in this dialog.

After defining the name, description, and filter conditions of a new SSI context definition, press the END key. Save the definition to the BBPARM parameter library member by issuing the SAVE command; see Saving-an-SSI-context-definition. If you want to make the new SSI context definition active immediately, enter the INSTall command; see Installing-changes-to-SSI-context-definitions.

To cancel a new SSI context definition while you are defining it, enter the CANcel command; see Canceling-modifications-to-an-SSI-context-definition.

The following forms of the ADD command are available:

  • Primary command

    The ADD primary command is entered on the COMMAND line and is entered in the same way on both the CONDEF and CONDEFD views.

    When the ADD command is issued from the CONDEF view, the Add Context Definition dialog appears with blank fields.

    The CONDEFD view displays only one SSI context definition at a time. The current definition is assumed to be the definition that you want to use as a template for a new definition. The Add Context Definition dialog appears with the values for the current definition. You must at least change the SSI Context field or enter the CANcel command to exit from this dialog.

  • Line command

    The A line command is entered in the line command field in the same way on both the CONDEF and CONDEFD views. The action is taken against the resource where the command is entered.

    The displayed definition is assumed to be the template that you want to use for a new definition. The Add Context Definition dialog appears with the values for the current definition. You must at least change the SSI Context field or enter the CANcel command to exit from this dialog.
