A property set is a collection of properties. It can contain an array of properties or even
another property set as its element. A property set with one or more property sets
contained within it is called a recursive property set.
VEA uses Tabular View to display the properties of an object. Each object is represented
by a row in the table and the properties are the column cells in it.
Tabular View
Upon double clicking the property in the table, VEA pops up a dialog box to display the
array and property set.
Performing Tasks
Most VEA tasks are performed by selecting objects and/or tasks and then completing the
resulting dialog boxes. You can run tasks from the following:
◆ Menu bar
◆ Context-sensitive popup menu
Running Tasks From the Menu Bar
Once you have connected to a host, you can launch tasks from the Actions menu in the
main window menu bar. The context-sensitive Actions menu launches tasks on a selected
object. The Actions menu is dynamic and changes its options based on the type of object
that is selected in the tree or grid.
