Managing target contexts
You can use a target context definition for targets that are critical to your site.
When you define a target context, you specify a unique combination of target and product. Defining a target context allows you to:
Specify products that you expect to be active for a target. If a product is not active at a target, a signal can be made to BMC AMI Ops Automation to start that product.
Display the status of that target and product combination. A CAS monitors active products automatically when it initializes. Specifying a target context definition causes the CAS to report the status of a product even if that product is not active.
- Define a security profile for that target context.
To define target contexts
- Use the information in Planning a target context definition to plan for the necessary target context definitions.
- Create target definitions by following the instructions in Defining a target context.
- If necessary, enable target monitoring by following the instructions in Enabling a target context definition member in the local CAS to define a target definition member to the local CAS definition.
