Overview

What are Home Pages?

On the Home Page tab of the HyperTrees tab of the Diagnostic Aids dialog box, you can see HyperTree subjects represented by an icon. The Home Page tab can hold up to 32 icons. Each icon represents a link.

Usually, an icon on the Home Page tab represents a link to the Hyper Tree tab, but an icon can also be a link to an additional Home Page tab of icons, to a Tivoli Problem Management function, or to an external application.

Depending on how many HyperTrees are created for your system, there may be only one Home Page tab, or many Home Pages tabs. If your system contains many HyperTrees, your main Home Page tab may be linked to additional HyperTrees Home Pages tabs.

You use home pages to narrow a HyperTrees search. After you narrow a search, the Home Pages tab launches the HyperTrees tab of the HyperTrees tab of the Diagnostic Aids dialog box, or a system action.
