In this step you create a link to the target workspace.
About this task
When you define the link, you identify the target workspace
and specify the attributes whose values are passed to the script to
use to navigate to the relevant NetView for z/OS® screen.
Follow these
steps to create a link between a source IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI for Networks workspace
and a related NetView for z/OS screen:
Procedure
Open the workspace that you want to link from. In this
example, we will link to the Applications workspace as shown in Figure 1:
Figure 1. Workspace Link Wizard showing the list
of target workspaces
Right-click in a row in the table view from which you want
to create the link and select Link to > Link Wizard (if there
are no existing links in the row) or Link Wizard (if there
are existing links) from the popup menu.
On the Link Wizard Welcome window, select Create a new
link and click Next.
On the Link Name window, type a Name and Description to
identify the link and click Next.
On the Link Type window, select Dynamic as the link
type and click Next.
In the Navigator pane of the Target Workspace window, expand
the branches and select the Target node, as in this example of the
Connections workspace shown in Figure 2.
Note that "cloned" workspaces are listed under the node associated
with the workspace they are cloned from.

window, with Symbols window open and the Node symbol selected beneath
Agent.
Click OK to close the Symbols list and OK again
to close the Expression editor.
System ID appears
as the expression for SMFID.
Click Next to open the Parameters window.
In the Parameters window, click Add Symbol and provide
a symbol name for the first attribute whose value you want to pass
to the navigation script, then click OK to add the symbol to
the Parameter panel.
Select the symbol you just added, then click Modify

In the Expression Editor, click Symbol and select
the name of the attribute whose value you want to associate with the
symbol you just named, as shown in Figure 4:

The list is a reverse hierarchy of available
symbols starting from the source context and the current Navigator
item and ending at the root Navigator item.
Click OK to close the Symbol window, then click OK again
to close the Expression editor.
The attribute name
is added in the expression window.
Repeat steps 12–15 until you have added all the attributes
whose values you want passed to the script, then click Next.
The Summary window is displayed.
Review the description of the link that is going to be
created. If you want to change something about the link, click Back.
If the description is correct, click Finish.
The
Wizard closes, and the link is added to the view.
