The Sysplex (by Tag) view

You can use the resource editors to assign one or more tags to each model element. These tags can be used to identify relationships between the resources. For example, you might use the tag aors to identify all the AORs and tor to identify all the TORs. The Sysplex (by Tag) view shows the model elements in each MVS™ image grouped by tags.

In the following example of the Sysplex (by Tag) view, MVS image MV28 is shown containing two tag groups: aor and myplex. In MVS image MV28, there is one CICS® region with the tag aor, and one CICS region with the tag myplex.

MVS image MV28 is shown containing two tag groups: aor and myplex. In MVS image MV28, there is one CICS region with the tag aor, and one CICS region with the tag myplex. Tag groups are aligned across all MVS images, so that all model elements that are tagged with aor are shown on the same horizontal alignment in the view.

Tag groups are aligned across all MVS images, so that all model elements that are tagged with aor, are shown on the same horizontal alignment in the view.
