Defining a target context

Later, you may need to add new definitions or maintain existing definitions.

Plex Manager provides a set of views to define target contexts and maintain them after they have been created. The following target context definition views are available in Plex Manager:

• TGTDEFL lists all existing BBPARM members that contain target context definitions; see Displaying-a-list-of-BBPARM-target-context-definition-members.
• TGTDEF lists target context definitions that are contained in a single BBPARM member. Use this view to add, change, generate, update, or delete target context definitions. The changes to the definition can be saved to the BBPARM member.
• TGTDEFD shows the details of a single target context definition in one BBPARM member. You can perform the same functions to a single definition in TGTDEFD that you can perform to all definitions in TGTDEF.

See Managing-target-context-definitions for more information about target context definition management tasks.

A target context definition contains:

• One to eight-alphanumeric character target name (special characters are not allowed in the target name)
• Description of the target
• Filter condition(s) that select information about target systems and products defined as a complex filter condition

If you are defining target context definitions for the first time, see Creating-a-target-context-definition.
