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.
