Using Fast Path Navigation
For Administrative Products, the Install System provides Fast Path
Navigation, which enables you to switch from one product to another without
leaving the current product.
To initiate Fast Path Navigation, enter the name of the product that you want
to switch to on the Command line of the current product. Refer to Table 4-2
for a list of the products and commands.
For example, if you are currently using DASD MANAGER PLUS and want
to view an object description in CATALOG MANAGER, enter
BMCCAT on
the DASD MANAGER PLUS Command line. When you initiate Fast Path
Navigation, the main menu for the requested product is displayed. In this
case, the DASD MANAGER PLUS session is temporarily suspended and
then resumed when you exit CATALOG MANAGER.
To use Fast Path Navigation, you must install the products by using the
Install System and use the BMCDB2 CLIST during product invocation. The
distributed CLISTs BMCADMF1 and BMCADMF2 must be in a data set
that is in either the ALTLIB list of the BMCDB2 CLIST or your SYSPROC
concatenation. Also, the product to which you are switching must be installed
and reside in the same set of libraries as the product from which you are
switching.
Note: You cannot use Fast Path Navigation to access a product that is
currently suspended. For example, if you switch from ALTER to
DASD MANAGER PLUS, you cannot use fast path to return to
ALTER because it is currently suspended. Instead, you have to exit
the DASD MANAGER PLUS session to resume the ALTER session.
