View navigation

Navigation between views is designed to be 'point and shoot.' In other words, you can position the cursor on any highlighted field in a view, press the Enter key, and access a new view containing related information.

You can start by displaying one of the EZ menus (such as EZIMS for a single system or EZISSI for multiple systems). Position the cursor on any menu item of interest and press Enter to access a view that provides the information you want.

In most views that you access from an EZ menu, you can hyperlink from any object in the far left information column to access an object menu. From the object menu, you can hyperlink to other views that provide detailed, in-context information about the object (resource, job, or workload) you selected. (For a description of the EZ menus and object menus, see Menus.)

Interface

Rather than hyperlinking to a view, you can access it directly by typing the view name on any COMMAND line, or you can select the view from a list of views.

You can type MAIN on any COMMAND line to access a functional list of view categories and then select a category to access a list of all the views in the category. From the category list, you can hyperlink to the individual views. Once you are familiar with the category names, you can simply type the category name on any COMMAND line to access the list of views in the category without having to start with the MAIN view.

You can also type VIEWS on any COMMAND line to access a list of all views and then select a view from the VIEWS list. Or you can type VIEWS and the beginning of a view name, followed by as asterisk, to access a list of views that start with the characters you entered. For example, you could enter VIEWS IDA* to get a list of all the database activity views, which start with IDA.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
