To navigate between views

  1. Place the cursor over the highlighted text that represents the desired destination.
  2. Press Enter.

All BMC AMI Ops products that operate in windows mode have Easy menus to make it easier to access the information that you need. The names of the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS Easy menus all begin with EZC. The primary Easy menu for BMC AMI OpsM for CICS is EZCFSSI.

EZCFSSI: SSI context menu

EZCFSSI (the SSI context menu) is the primary Easy menu for BMC AMI OpsM for CICS. Use EZCFSSI when you want an overview of several target IBM CICS regions together in single system image SSI mode. From the EZCFSSI view, you can hyperlink to views that provide information about CICS regions, tasks, and resources from an SSI perspective. For example, if you place the cursor on Lock Analysis and press Enter, the TASKLCK view is displayed with information about CICS tasks with outstanding lock conditions.

The following figure is an example of the EZCFSSI menu:

EZCFAST: CICS Fast menu

EZCFAST is another example of an Easy menu.  EZCFAST (the CICS Fast menu) provides quick access to all BMC AMI OpsM for CICS online services (both SSI oriented and target-oriented).

Some of the options on EZCFAST are shown with a greater-than sign (>) in front of them instead of a period (.), indicating that the hyperlink goes to another menu or input panel rather than a view of data. For example, EZCFAST offers direct access to some of the most frequently used storage views (such as DSA Overview), plus access to the complete Storage Menu (EZCMSTOR). Submenus appear as pop-up menus that overlay the center of the primary Easy menu.
