Generating target context definitions
The GENERATE command automatically creates a target context definition for each active undefined product that is recognized by the local CAS.
You must be in edit mode before you can enter the GENERATE command; see Editing-target-context-definitions.
When GENERATE is used, a target context definition is created for each product that appears on the PLEX view with an Active status. The GENERATE command is a shortcut command for defining target definitions because you do not have to enter the ADD command and complete the Add New Target Definition dialog for each definition individually. As products become active on the PLEX view, you can enter GENERATE and Plex Manager automatically adds definitions for only the undefined active products.
The GENERATE command is entered on the COMMAND line and is entered in the same way on both the TGTDEF and TGTDEFD views.
When GENERATE is used, the following messages can appear for each active target that is currently defined:
-Related:BBMXBQ20W Service point definition exists: system
context product server
Press Enter to clear these messages.
The TGTDEF view is updated with target context definitions for active products that appear in the PLEX view. The TGTDEFD view does not appear to be updated, but when you return to the TGTDEF view, the new target context definitions are listed.
After entering the GENERATE command, you can perform any of the tasks that are shown in the following table:
Task | Command | Reference |
|---|---|---|
Cancel any new target context definitions | CANcel primary command | |
Make new target context definitions active immediately | INSTall primary or INS line command | |
Save the new definitions to the BBPARM parameter library member | SAVE primary command |
