Context overview

A context is a name that identifies a BMC AMI Ops product running on one or more target systems.

A context can be a single target system or a single system image (SSI) that includes multiple target systems.

On some menus, the context is displayed in the target field. On views, the context is displayed in the window information line. To change the context, select the target field or use the CONText command.

Interface

Dynamic SSI contexts are automatically populated by BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL to represent natural groupings of targets. BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL provides the following dynamic SSI contexts:

Context name

Description

IMSPLEX

Represents all members of the IMSplex groups associated with your current IMS target.

MSGROUP

Represents all members of the message sharing groups associated with your current IMS target.

DSGROUP

Represents all members of the data sharing groups associated with your current IMS target.

When a BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL PAS connects to an IMS target, the PAS automatically creates a dynamic context for any of the group types that the IMS belongs to. For example, if the target IMS belongs to an IMSplex group named CSLPLX11 you can enter CONTEXT IMSPLEX:CSLPLX11 and your SSI context will automatically include all members of that IMSplex group.
