The Console view provides a history of the actions you have performed, such as submitting a job, or changing and saving a file.
The console view is displayed in the z/OS perspective. Every time you submit a job or change a file, an entry is recorded in the Console as a history of your actions, as shown in the following screen capture.
For a data set entry, you can click the hyperlink to open the data set. For a job entry, you can click the hyperlink to show the completed or running job in the z/OS Job view.
The information shown is not saved when z/OS® Explorer closes.
You can use the Timestamp icon to show, or hide, timestamps in the Console view. The action is effective only for entries after the icon is clicked.
