Tenant workspaces

Review characteristics of the enhanced 3270 user interface that are unique to operating in multi-tenancy mode.

The following list describes characteristics of the workspace that are unique to operating in multi-tenancy mode:

  • Menus. The workspace action bar provides a set of menus: File, Edit, View, Tools Navigate, and Help. For a regular user operating in multi-tenancy mode, only a subset of the menu options is enabled. All options are enabled for users defined as power users or super users.
  • Commands. Regular tenant users have access to only a subset of commands. The =panelid command, which is used for out-of-context navigation, is not functional for regular tenant users. All commands are available to power users and super users.
  • Plex ID, Sys ID. The following characteristics apply for regular tenant users and power users:
    • The Plex ID (NAV1) field is read-only. You cannot switch to a different system outside the scope of your multi-tenancy definition. Instead, you must go back to the home workspace (PF3 or the HOME command) to select a different plex.
    • The Sys ID (NAV2) field is unlocked, or is as set by the individual OMEGAMON product. Many OMEGAMON products use validation of the Plex ID and Sys ID values together to ensure that an overwritten Sys ID value is within the scope of the Plex ID value. This validation is a registry lookup, and if not found an error message is displayed explaining that the combination of the Plex ID value (locked or not) and the Sys ID value is invalid.
    These restrictions do not apply for users defined as super users.
  • Icons. For regular tenant users, icons are disabled. All icons are available to power users and super users.
  • Tabs. For regular tenant users, only those tabs that have been designated for inclusion are displayed in the workspace. This setting is made in the group definition, which is described in Creating tenant definitions.
  • Footer. For regular tenant users and power users, the name of the customer associated with the logged-on user is displayed in the minimize bar. This value is set in the customer definition, which is described in Creating tenant definitions. For super users, the name of the HUB to which the user is connected is displayed.
