The general views are visible when the CICS DA perspective
opens, and provide information about the CICS® DA model, associated resources, and system
information.
DA Explorer view
When you create a CICS Deployment
Assistant connection, the connection name is shown in the DA Explorer
view. Each connection name can contain a system model. The model is
a representation of the all the z/OS® images, CICS® systems, associated
subsystems, and other logical system information, in the sysplex.
You expand the DA connection name in the DA Explorer view to show
the model.
System Log view
When you are connected to a z/OS® system
the System Log view shows the last 1000 messages in the system log
for the current CICS DA connection.
The view is not automatically updated but can be refreshed with the
latest information by clicking the refresh icon.
Viewing the model in the Outline view
The system model can contain many resource elements. The
Sysplex views display only a part of the model. You can use the scroll
bars in the Sysplex views to move around the model. However the Outline
view provides an alternative navigation method. The Outline view displays
the complete contents of sysplex pane. The individual resource elements
are too small to see any detail, but a shaded area represents the
viewing area that is displayed in the Sysplex view.
z/OS Command view
The z/OS Command
view provides a command line interface to the z/OS console. You can type an z/OS command in the text field and the response
is shown in the view.
