Functions and features of the Web User Interface

The CICSPlex® SM Web User Interface (WUI) offers an easy-to-use interface that you can use to carry out all of the operational and administrative tasks necessary to monitor and control CICS® resources. You can link to the Web User Interface from any location that can launch a Web browser.

The WUI is supplied with a set of linked menus and views to facilitate all your system management tasks. See CICSPlex SM supplied views and menus for guidance on navigating around the supplied menus views.

You can also customize the WUI to reflect your business procedures and to suit the needs of individual users.

The CICSPlex SM Web User Interface allows you to:

View editor

The view editor is an on-line, web-based tool that leads you step-by-step through the process of creating and previewing your views and menus without requiring any knowledge of HTML. You can design views and menus from scratch or start with one of the existing views. The view editor also allows you to See Customizing menus and views for guidance on using the view editor.

The WUI incorporates security features enabling you to restrict use of the view editor to nominated users.

User editor

This feature enables administrators to create profiles for groups of WUI users. What individual users see and do when they log on to the WUI can be controlled by the user group profile to which they belong enabling the WUI to be tailored to the needs of various groups of users. You can, for example, use the view editor to create a new WUI menu containing only operations views and make this the default menu for a group of users. This would provide a simplified operational WUI for users who only need to carry out this kind of task.
