CX

Use at a workstation to view or change your context, or to view containers and leaf objects in your tree structure.

CX [new context] [/R] [/T | /CONT | /A] [/C]
[/?| /VER]

Parameter	Use to
(no parameter)	View the current context.
new context	Move to a new context or specify the context you want for an option.
/R	List containers at the root level, or change context in relation to the root.
/T	List containers below the current context or a specified context in a tree structure.
/CONT	List containers at the current context or a specified context in a vertical list with no structure.
/A	Include all objects at or below the context. Use with /T or /CONT.
/C	Scroll continuously through output.
/?	View online help. (Other parameters are ignored).
/VER	View the version number of the utility and the list of files it uses to execute. (Other parameters are ignored.)

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.
