Target context definition

You can use a target context definition for targets that are critical to your site.

When you define a target context, you specify a unique combination of target and product. Defining a target context allows you to:

  • Specify products that you expect to be active for a target

    If a product is not active at a target, a signal can be made to MainView AutoOPERATOR to start that product.

  • Display the status of that target and product combination

    A CAS monitors active products automatically when it initializes. Specifying a target context definition causes the CAS to report the status of a product even if that product is not active.

  • Define a security profile for that target context

To define target contexts

  1. Use the information in Planning-a-target-context-definition to plan for the necessary target context definitions.
  2. Create target definitions by following the instructions in Defining-a-target-context.
  3. If necessary, enable target monitoring by following the instructions in Enabling-a-target-context-definition-member-in-the-local-CAS to define a target definition member to the local CAS definition.
