Displaying single system image definitions
VistaPoint provides views that combine multiple products, systems, and targets together as a single system image (SSI) context. SSI contexts combine data from all or selected portions of your transaction environment into a single view.
When you invoke views within an SSI context, the reported values represent data collected across multiple z/OS images and one or more targets defined within the context. Performance data is summarized by product regardless of the system on which the target is located.
Product administrators normally define SSI contexts when VistaPoint is customized at your site. This exercise focuses on how to list the SSI contexts defined at your site and how to display a view within an SSI context.
This exercise does not give instructions on defining SSI contexts. Instead, it shows how to list your site's SSI contexts. Refer to theBMC AMI Ops Infrastructure section if you want to learn how to define an SSI context.
- Enter reset to clear the screen.
Enter con * plexmgr;conactz to display a summary view that shows the defined SSI contexts.
The following figure shows the CONACTZ view that lists all defined SSI contexts in summary form:

The two fields at the right of the view, Num Targ and Num Act, show the number of targets defined for the context and the number that are currently active.Enter conact on the COMMAND line. This shows the CONACT view, which expands the summary line entries of the CONACTZ view.

Move the cursor over a name listed beneath the highlighted SSI Context field and press Enter.This shows the CONACTD view, which is a detail view of the SSI target you selected from the CONACT view. In addition to the information given in the two previous views, the CONACTD view shows the name of the server and z/OS system to which the product is attached.

Remember the names of several contexts defined at your site. You might want to use SSI context views by reviewing some of the exercises that you completed in earlier steps.
