Using CX

• CX is similar to the DOS CD and DIR commands in that CX allows you to

change contexts and view all objects below a given container.

• To set your new context from the root

• Place a period in front of the new context you type; or

• Enter the proper number of trailing periods to reach the root level; or

• Use the “Root” option.

• CX doesn’t recognize spaces in object names. If you have spaces in container

names, put quotation marks around the names or use underscores (_) in place of

the spaces.

For example, for container CORPORATE ADMIN, type “Corporate Admin” or

Corporate_Admin.

• You might need to use CX before logging in to set your context to the same value

as the name context specified in your NET.CFG file.
