Virtual Infrastructure View APIs

Virtual Infrastructure View APIs

View is the base class for session-specific view objects.

A view is a mechanism that supports selection of objects on the server and subsequently, access to those objects. To create a view, use the ViewManager methods. A view exists until you terminate it by calling the DestroyView method, or until the end of the session. Access to a view is limited to the session in which it is created.

There are three types of views:

A view maintains a view list that contains managed object references. You can use a view with the PropertyCollector to retrieve data and obtain notification of changes to the virtual environment. For information about using views with the PropertyCollector, see the description of ViewManager.
