The following is a list of the commands used to navigate reports
and explanations for using them:
- WIN
- You can use the WIN (WINdow) command to display a selection
list of open reports in a pop-up panel. From that panel, you can make
a selection to jump to the selected report. The main Observation Session
List panel will be the report listed at the top of the selection list,
so you can use WIN to quickly get back to this panel rather than navigating
through all your open reports.
- JUMP (PF4)
- You can use the JUMP command, or the PF4 key, to jump to another
open report. Each time you issue a JUMP request, Application Performance Analyzer will
skip to the next open report, on a rotating basis.
- END (PF3)
- Use the END command, or the PF3 key, to return to the display
of the previous report — the one from which the current report
was launched. The END command will close (delete) the current report.
Entering END from the Report Selection Menu will exit the Application Performance Analyzer Performance
Reporting Facility.
- CANCEL (PF12)
- Use the CANCEL command, or the PF12 key, to return to the display
of the previous report — the one from which the current report
was launched. The CANCEL command will leave the current report open.
You can return to it any time using the JUMP or WIN command. Entering
CANCEL from the Report Selection Menu will exit the Application Performance Analyzer Performance
Reporting Facility.
- REPORT CODE
- Once you have selected an observation session, you can enter
a three character report code, even if you are not in the report menu.
You can be viewing one report, and can immediately open an additional
report by typing its code.
- UP (PF7)
- Use the UP command, or press PF7, to scroll vertically towards
the top of the report.
- DOWN (PF8)
- Use the DOWN command, or press PF8, to scroll vertically towards
the bottom of the report.
- LEFT (PF10)
- Use the LEFT command, or press PF10, to scroll the report horizontally
to the left.
- RIGHT (PF11)
- Use the RIGHT command, or press PF11, to scroll the report horizontally
to the right.
- FIND
- The FIND command (abbreviation “F” can be used) finds
all occurrences of a text string. It is similar to an ISPF FIND command,
but does not have all the features. All occurrences of the target
text string will be highlighted. To remove the highlights, enter the
RESET command.
- RESET
- The RESET command removes the highlights set by the FIND command.
- PREF
- Use this to set preferences for General Display Settings. Put
a slash “/” beside an option to select it. The available
options are:
- Action bar visible on panels
- Use 3270 graphic characters
- Show long descriptions on multiple lines
- Suppress use of special +/- character
- CONNECT
- Only available on the R02 Observation Session List screen. If
your installation has multiple Application Performance Analyzer instances running,
you can change which one your ISPF session is connected to by typing
CONNECT followed by the Application Performance Analyzer identifier. You can use the
VER command to view which Application Performance Analyzer instances are currently
running on the same z/OS image that you are logged in to.
- VERSION
- Only available on the R02 Observation Session List screen. Type
VERSION or VER and a list of the Application Performance Analyzer started tasks will
be displayed, along with their version numbers, and when they were
started.
- SETUP
- Use the SETUP command to filter information and select options
for reports. This command is useful for reducing the size of reports
by removing information that is not critical. The options available
using the SETUP command vary by report. You can get more details from
the report descriptions.
- HIDE
- Only available on the R02 Observation Session List screen. Type
HIDE to remove the list of commonly used Application Performance Analyzer primary commands
from view.
- SHOW
- Only available on the R02 Observation Session List screen. Type
SHOW to redisplay the list of commonly used Application Performance Analyzer primary
commands at the top of the screen.
- IMPORT
- Only available in the R02 Observation Session List screen. Use
the IMPORT command to load a sample file. This can be a native Application Performance Analyzer sample
file or one that has been previously exported using the EXP command
and in TSO XMIT format. The IMPORT command displays a pop-up window
to enter the fully qualified data set name of the native sample file
or TSO XMIT file, and to indicate if that original file is to be deleted
after import. A new request description can be optionally entered.
During
IMPORT, Application Performance Analyzer creates a new observation, assigns a new request
number and if provided on the IMPORT pop-up window, adds the description
to the imported observation. If indicated, Application Performance Analyzer will delete
the original file. The date and time of the imported request is set
to the current date and time and the expiry date is recalculated based
on the rules of the importing system.
