Customizing the WebSphere Real Time perspective

You can create, edit, and delete custom views within the WebSphere® Real Time perspective (WRTP).

Custom views can be managed using the "custom view management wizard". The views are defined in a custom view definition file. The location of this file is set in the perspective preferences. For more information about this setting, see Setting preferences for the WebSphere Real Time perspective.

Creating a custom view

Use the custom view management wizard to create a custom view. Invoke the wizard by clicking the Add custom view button displayed in the controller view. If you have not selected a custom view definition file preference, the first page of the wizard lets you select a file.

Follow the steps presented by the wizard to create a custom view.

When the wizard finishes, the view is added to WRTP and is available immediately.

A view shows data only when the required trace settings are provided for a target JVM.

Editing a custom view

To edit a custom view, select the view in the drop-down box, then click the Edit view button. The wizard starts in edit mode. This mode lets you modify one or more aspects of the view. You cannot modify the name of a view.
Note: The Edit view button is enabled only when a custom view is selected in the drop-down box.

Deleting a custom view

To delete a custom view, select the view in the drop-down box, then click the Delete view button. The view is deleted. Any data associated with the view is also deleted.
Note: The Delete view button is enabled only when a custom view is selected in the drop-down box.
