Using single system image contexts

View contexts are particularly important for VistaPoint and the BMC AMI Ops products that work with it. Because VistaPoint views display data from multiple targets, products, and systems, SSI contexts are essential.
As you navigate between VistaPoint views and the views of the products that work with VistaPoint, frequently you need to set another context. This happens most often when you want to look at data from a target that is not in your current context, or when you want to focus on a single target within an SSI context.
This section explains how to set a context using BMC AMI Ops commands. There is a separate section that explains how to limit the scope of an SS context.
