Workspaces reference
A workspace is the working area of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal application window. The Navigator contains a list of the workspaces provided by the agent.
About workspaces
Use the Navigator to select the workspace you want to see. As part of the application window, the status bar shows the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server name and port number to which the displayed information applies and the ID of the current user.
When you select an item in the Navigator, a default workspace is displayed. When you right-click a navigator item, a menu that includes a Workspace item is displayed. The Workspace item contains a list of workspaces for that navigator item. Each workspace has at least one view. Some views have links to other workspaces. You can also use the Workspace Gallery tool as described in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide to open workspaces.
The workspaces in the Navigator are displayed in a Physical view that shows your enterprise as a physical mapping or a dynamically populated logical view that is agent-specific. You can also create a Logical view. The Physical view is the default view.
This monitoring agent provides predefined workspaces. You cannot modify or delete the predefined workspaces, but you can create new workspaces by editing them and saving the changes with a different name.
- IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Network Manager
- Corresponds to an agent instance and contains agent instance-level workspaces.
When a single instance of the monitoring agent is defined on a system, the top-level node is IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Network Manager - Instance:Hostname:NP. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Network Manager workspace is defined at this node. When multiple instances of the monitoring agent are defined on a system, the top-level node becomes IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Network Manager. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Tivoli Network Manager workspace is undefined at this node. A node for each instance is created called Instance:Hostname:NP. A workspace that is called Instance:Hostname:NP is associated with the instance node. This workspace is comparable to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition workspace.
Workspace views can be any combination of query-based views, event views, and special purpose views.
