Understanding VistaPoint views

The topics in this section demonstrate some common BMC AMI Ops commands and facilities to navigate between MainView VistaPoint views. As part of the topic, you are given an overview of VistaPoint's views and the views of the products that work with VistaPoint. After completing these exercises, you should understand how to use these features with specific categories of views to display the information you need. 

The following figure illustrates a simple hierarchy of applications and workloads and the VistaPoint views that display their performance. At the top are the Finance and Payroll applications composed of CICS, z/OS, IMS, and Db2 workloads. The VistaPoint APOVER view gives a summary overview of each application's performance. Beneath the applications, workloads are grouped by product: CICS, Db2, IMS, and z/OS. The APGRP view shows a performance summary of the product workloads that are part of a specific application. WKOVER gives a performance summary of all workloads included in the Finance and Payroll applications. WKDETL shows details of individual workload performance.
