Data View dialog box
You use this dialog box to inspect the actual data that will substitute the substitution variables that you define in the Command or Options tabs.
You access this dialog box by clicking the Show Data button
in the Command tab (or in the Options tab, when you
are using the Create Batch Job dialog box). The Command tab
is one of standard tabs that is described in Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. If you see inappropriate data in
the Data View dialog box, respond as follows:
- If the substitution variables that you defined generate results that are not valid, click Cancel to return to the Command tab, and adjust your definitions.
- If resources are referenced in the dialog box that you did not intend to include, close the Data View dialog box, and click Cancel in the toolkit dialog box that you are configuring. Select the resources that you want to target, and access the toolkit dialog box again.
Note: If you select the Use request's default data option
in the General tab, the substitution uses the data from the
original request. The data that is displayed in the Data View dialog
box will reflect this fact.
The general process of setting
substitution variables and evaluating their scope is described in Setting substitution variables for toolkit commands. Column
headings in the Data View dialog box display the ATTRIBUTE(%variable%) format,
where the attribute name is followed by the corresponding substitution
variable name in parenthesis, as in the following example headings:
- *DSN (%SUB01%)
- Managed System (%name%)
