information on certificates and SSL.
Removing a Fabric

A fabric view file is one or more fabrics saved to a file. To open an existing view file,
do the following:

fabric you are currently viewing has changed, you will be prompted to save the
changes to the fabric view file with the Save View dialog before opening a
different view file.
2. In the Open View dialog, enter the name of the file to open, and enter a file
password, if a password was entered when this fabric view file was saved.
3. Click the OK button.
Note – To maximize system performance and reduce the fabric event logs, limit the
number of large fabrics open at one time.
