Defining ViewPoints
A ViewPoint builds a view of the active environment by
retrieving and displaying data according to the criteria defined in the
ViewPoint’s collection, hierarchy, and global filter definitions.
■
Collections determine the jobs to be loaded into memory.
■
Global filters determine which jobs to display.
■
Hierarchies determine the hierarchical structure in which to display jobs.
CONTROL-M/EM is supplied with a number of predefined
ViewPoints, but you can create or modify definitions.
