Accessing end user interface administration views

You can access a CICSPlex® SM administration view by:

CICSPlex SM administration views display information about definitions that exist in the CMAS data repository.

Issuing a view command

The command that displays a view has the same name as the view itself. Thus, to display the ADMCONFG view, which contains a selection list of CMAS administration configuration views, you would issue the command:

   ADMCONFG

You can issue the command either by typing the command in the COMMAND field and pressing Enter, or by pressing the PF key to which the command is assigned.

Some view commands have optional or required parameters. For information on how to specify parameters, see Specifying command parameters.

Selecting a view from a menu

You can select an administration view from a menu by using the MENU command. The MENU command has parameters that can be used to qualify the list of views from which you can select. For the administration views described in this book, you can use the following parameters with the MENU command:

ADMCONFG
For a menu of the CMAS configuration views
ADMTOP
For a menu of the topology views

For example, Figure 2, illustrates the selection list produced when you issue the MENU ADMCONFG command.
