Edit a View Using VMC

Editing an existing view is similar to creating a view. You can edit a single view or multiple views to modify the properties, or to add, delete, or modify filtering criteria.

Follow these steps:

1. Find the appropriate view.
2. Right-click that view and select Edit in VMC from the pop-up menu.

   Note: To edit multiple views at one time using the Shift or Ctrl key and mouse to select the views to modify, right-clicking, and then selecting Edit in VMC from the pop-up menu.

   The View Management Console dialog opens, displaying the modify_view and modify_filter commands for the selected view.

3. Edit the view definition as appropriate.

   Note: You cannot modify a view’s filter to change the name of the server to which it points. Delete the current filter first and insert a new filter.

4. Click Execute.

   CA WCC verifies the validity of the view definition. If the validity check encounters problems, a message is displayed describing the error. If the validity check succeeds, the commands are executed and the view is modified.

5. Click Close.

   The View Management Console dialog closes.
