Environment Widget

The Environment widget presents the closest environment of the selected CI (as defined in by the calculated links that are specified in the CI Type Manager in UCMDB). Details about CIs in the environment can be displayed in either textual or graphical mode.

User preferences are saved in the UCMDB server's user preferences.

Widget Details Mode

The widget details mode presents the detailed environment data in either textual or graphical mode, whichever was last used. Graphical mode is the default view mode.

Note If graphical mode does not display, it may be due to the fact that the drive of the machine where the UCMDB server is installed is full. Free up some space on that drive in order to view graphical mode.

Toolbar

The top row of the Environment widget acts as a toolbar and enables you to:
- Switch between graphical and textual modes
- Click a button (in graphical mode only) that opens or closes the CIs pane. The default mode for the CIs pane is opened.
  
  Note You can also open the CIs pane by selecting a classification in the Topology map.
  
  The CIs pane details the CIs contained in the classification that is selected in the Topology pane, dividing it into all relevant CI types.
Graphical mode

Note When the CMS UI is embedded in an UCMDB server running on a Linux system, runlevel 5 (enabled X server) is needed for the graphical mode of the Environment Widget to operate properly. In addition, add unset DISPLAY to the server.sh script. Restart the UCMDB Server for the server.sh changes to take effect.

In graphical mode, information is displayed in a topology map format, with the CIs grouped by CI Types. In this map, the groups cannot be expanded.

You can navigate in the Environment Widget easily by turning on the quick navigation map.

In the quick navigation map, the elements from the canvas are represented. You can drag and resize the selection in the map overview.

If the map is too large, a big overview of the map is available, which allows you to use the map overview navigator to jump directly to a particular part of the map.

A toggle button is available in the map to allow you to turn on/off the minimap. If the map is larger than 20 CIs, the state of the button is saved in your user preferences. For more details about the Map Toolbar, see Map Toolbar.

Directional lines representing links are displayed with other items in the view if the selected CI has a direct relationship with at least one other CI (either in the same classification or in a different classification).
Textual mode
- Left pane. The left pane displays a list of all classifications containing at least one CI. Each classification is broken down into a list of the CI types in that classification that have at least one CI. Selecting any line in this pane displays its details in the right pane.
- Right pane. The right pane displays detailed information about the item that is selected in the left pane, divided by CI type.
