Define a System Image

You must add a system image definition to the knowledge base.

To add a system image definition, press F4 (Add) from the System Image List panel.

A System Image Definition panel appears. You can now define the system image.

Example: Define a System Image

This example defines the system image named EASTTEST, which represents a development system of the same name (the home system). The following panel shows the completed definition:

PROD------------- ResourceView : System Image Definition --------------------- Command ===> Function=ADD System Name ......... EASTTEST Database Version .... 0001 Home System ......... EASTTEST (...where the image will load. Blank for ALL) Short Description ... Development system for Eastern Long Description .... Handles application development and testing by Eastern branch programmers. Contains all the resources necessary to maintain this environment. EventView Ruleset to Activate + F1=Help F2=Split F3=File F4=Save F9=Swap F12=Cancel

For products that support event management, you can associate an EventView rule set with the system image by using the EventView Ruleset to Activate field. The rule set is activated when the system image becomes active, thus enabling event-based automation through the active event rules.

Note: By default, ResourceView and EventView rule actions are not executed in the MANUAL operation mode. However, the actions can be enabled by using the Perform Action in Manual Mode? field of the AUTOIDS Customizer parameter group.
