Container details
A container is a collection of source or program artifacts for which inventory can be taken. On z/OS® a container can be a partitioned data set (PDS or PDSE) or a source library under the control of a source configuration management system (SCM). On a distributed server a container can be a directory, an EAR, a JAR, or a source configuration management system.
The Container details page shows the details for a particular container. You access the Container details page by clicking a container name on any page on which containers appear, such as the Container summary page.
Use the Container details page to:
- See the attributes of a specific container.
- Perform actions on the asset.
- See other assets that are related to the current asset.
- See measurements for the assets in a container.
