Accessing BMC AMI OpsMJE (MainView Explorer)

To access BMC AMI OpsMJE through MainView Explorer

1. At the Windows security prompt for BMC, click OK (or Yes).
2. In the Logon dialog box, type your TSO user ID and the corresponding password in the User ID and Password boxes.

3.  If the Allocate user datasets for personal use check box is available, indicate whether to allocate user data sets to contain your customized views and configurations (instead of saving them to the site-wide data sets):

   Warning

   Important

   If you do not see this box, your site administrator disabled allocation of user data sets. You can proceed to Step 5.

   • If you do not want to allocate user data sets, clear Allocate user datasets for personal use and all boxes below it.
   • If you want to allocate user data sets, select Allocate user datasets for personal use.
4. If you selected Allocate user datasets for personal use in Step 3, provide the following information:

   1. In the Template for user datasets box, specify the template for your data set names.The template can consist of your TSO prefix (%UPREFIX), your user ID (%USERID), and the data set name (%BBDEF). You can arrange them in any order. Only %BBDEF is required, and it resolves to BBVDEF or BBCDEF (BBVDEF for customized views, and BBCDEF for customized configurations). If you do not specify %BBDEF in your template, BBVDEF or BBCDEF is added to the data set name as the low-level qualifier.

      Warning

      Important

      If your site administrator specified a template in the MainView Explorer host server startup procedure, the Template for user datasets box and the Insert token boxes are grayed out. If you choose to allocate user data sets, they will be named according to the site-defined template.

      Information

      Examples

      The following examples show valid templates and the user data sets that are allocated if the user ID is MYID01:

      • %USERID.TEST.%BBDEF (or %USERID.TEST ) allocates MYID01.TEST.BBVDEF (and BBCDEF).
      • PROD.U%BBDEF.%USERID allocates PROD.UBBVDEF.MYID01 (and UBBCDEF).
      • %USERID.&SYSNAME..%BBDEF allocates MYID01.SYSC.BBVDEF (on SYSC).

      As shown in the last example, including the system variable &SYSNAME. enables you to use the same data set template on different system images.

   2. To insert the %USERID token in the template, select the Insert token for User ID box.
   3. To insert the %UPREFIX token in the template, select the Insert token for User prefix box.
   4. If the Insert token for User prefix box is selected (either by you or because of the site-wide template), type your TSO user prefix in the User prefix field.
5. Click OK. MainView Explorer opens in a separate window. The window that contains the splash screen must remain open during the MainView Explorer session. For more information, see Overview-of-BMC-AMI-OpsMJE-navigation-in-MainView-Explorer.
